Amateur Radio

My amateur radio callsign is N4ING (formerly KN4NLW). I first started with amateur radio in 2018 when some friends and I tried to experiment with making a repeater. Anymore, since I don't know many other people who share the hobby, I mainly use amateur radio for practical purposes like communication without cell service via APRS.

I recently purchased a DMR Radio so I am most frequently active on the DMRVA Network, primarily VA Statewide (TG 3151).
