the almighty ham saved the day.

as some of you might know, I am invallved with something called skywarn, and we spot weather. anyway, so today there were 2 thunderstorms and I had to report to a group of hams who were relaying information, we were staying safe, and thanks to my brother bringing his ham to church, we managed to stop a woman from heading rite into the storms pathway because she heard my report over timothies radio.

 now aint it a great thing wen we can help someone without even knowing we did it at the time?

 i love that. 

 anyway all is good hear just thought we would update.

 this is KC3CDV until nexttime, 73.

the USS LEXINGTON

hello there, words cant describe what this means to me, know clue why this means so much, but it does. today I was talking on ham radio as I do a lot, and I came across this station, and we chatted for a bit and I asked him, so what is this  USS LEXINGTON? he said it was a ship off the shore of southtexas and he said, james you had better log this in your logbook, I said why man? he goes because you are the first person to contact the USS LEXINGTON. so I loged them down in my logbook. no idea why this means so much to me, but it does. i'll always remember this.
 just had a nice QSO with the USS LEXINGTON, im the first person to connect outside of their normal area, what an honor.


 I cant believe it.


 well thats my day so far, yall should get your ham exams passed, fire up that radio, call for me and i'll come back if I hear you.


 73 from KC3CDV

DX contacting.

hello there, KC3CDV hear, for those of you that don't know what DX is, its a neet way of saying contacting people or as we hams like to say "stations" out of the country.
 so anyway.
 I had a DX station today from Ontario Canada on a handheld ham radio, later today I also had a contact with south wails in the UK.. now I am in the US, and thats incredible, I worked canada and also the UK all in one day, the best part? it was all on 2 meeters now thats a days hard work done.

 so glad I got my ham radio and passed the exam.

 this is KC3CDV saying 73 to everyone, and I am clear.

greetings from KC3CDV

hello all, its your nightmair giving person who rites these blogs only for his own reasons of doing said things. LOL.
 well if you have never seen a ham callsign before, you have seen one in the title of this blog. if you did not read the last blog, you will not remembered the fact that I took my ham exam. if you did read the blog you would remember that I was waighting for my callsign to be issued.
 well, it came, my call is KC3CDV and today I worked a guy in NY, that means I talked to him in NY for those of you who know no ham lingo.
 I used a little hand held radio, and the coolest thing of all? I did it all on 1 wat of power. now how insane is that. if you don't find that cool you need your head examed, because that is the coolest thing in the world. plus the radio I got is blind user friendly. all this at 35 bucks, vs the big 3 brands of ham radio that arnt blind friendly unless you install stuff on them.
 but regardless, I am happy and cant stop beeing amazed at the fact i worked a guy in NY and im in PA. how cool is that.

 allrite yall, well yall stay out of trouble or KC3CDV might hear it on the ham.

 take care.

 KC3CDV saying 73 and  out.

ham radio exam.

ive not composed a blog for a while because I did not know what to rite about. well after a month of studying I now have something to rite about. I am a ham. yes a ham radio operater.
 I knew I could do this if I had the rite support system and I got it. yes. I am a ham. I am so happy. this is a dream come true folks. ive wanted to be a ham ever sence I was a little kid and found out ham radio thrue shortwave.


 I remember telling my teachers one day i'll be a ham. well folks, today its true. i passed the exam, i missed 1 and ive been back home for about an hour now. also the other thing is the test was free. a lot of other groups that give the tests are needing payed. not this group. I am so happy, words cant disscribe it. you know that taylor swift song called change? well thats the story of my life now. a lot of my friends or people who I knew were hams , I always saw them getting their ham tickets, and I could not get mine because one thing or another. well today and after a month of studying, I took my first ever ham exam and nailed it.


 it was the night things changed. I fought for what I wanted all these years, it was the fight of a lifetime, and now I am a ham. thank you.
 hope you enjoy this blog. not even going to edit this for how happy I am rite now. thank you all and peace.

I am still around.

hey folks, just letting yall know im still around, I don't really know what to blog about, so I wont rite as much as I normally do.

 I was sick, but am getting better. had a cold or whatever. but alive and still around.

remember folks, don't take things that you see on the tv or radio as fact, study it yourself. peace.


 may the light and love be with you.
