I am a Software Engineer by profession. I have been licensed since 2005; however, I was inactive until 2023.
I was born and brough-up in Mumbai (India). During my teenage years, I came across comic strips in local newspapers, which ran a story of aliens contacting humans over ham radio. Ever since then I have become fascinated by ham radio.
During my college years I attempted to build FM transmitter and foxhole radio.
I believe CW is the soul of amateur radio and every ham owes it debt to learning CW.
My hobby of traveling and visiting new places goes well with my newfound love for POTA and SOTA activations.
My wife and 11 yrs old son show great curiosity in my “on-air adventures” and always encourage me to push my limits.
I thank Kevin (NB7O) and Jeremy (NJ6Q) for giving ongoing support and encouragement on weekly basis.
Finally, I thank my sponsors Dallas (K1DW), Roger (AE5EZ), Willie (WJ9B) and Rob (K6RB) for giving me the opportunity to join the club.
