Hi,
Just signed up today. I saw the post on QRZ.com. I'm 47 years old. I've been an RVer for over 20 years. I've been in amateur radio since this spring, and a general class since July. I've been around other radios for over twenty years through my career in law enforcement. Got my general ticket about 90 days after my technician, then into Texas state RACES/ARES and also I am a ARRL VE. The home HF radio is a Yaesu FT-77 with a SGC SG-103 mulitband folded dipole wire. The home 2M is a Yaesu 1802 with a Hustler 2M verticle at 65 feet. Mobile radios (dual bands) are Yaesu 7800. The interest in amateur radio began because I am one of the commanders in our County Emergency Management and we work closely with area hams.

Our Rv is a 2001 Holiday Rambler 30SKS fifth wheel and our tow vehicle is a 2001 F350 Super Duty Diesel dually. The truck has a dual band radio in it. I've been a longtime member of iRV2.com (a great family rv website) and I went ahead and posted about this site on their forum since many iRV2.com members are also hams. Since I still work full time, I am not a full time RVer. We live on a ranch in Uvalde County Texas.
