MEMBERS SPOTLIGHT
Bill Freeman (KE1G)
The club member spotlight for this month showcases Bill Freeman, KE1G. Bill's interest in amateur radio started at a young age as he received his novice license at the age of 13, on March 5, 1963. Nonetheless, the novice license had a short validity of one year and was not renewable. Subsequently, Bill had to wait until approximately 1972 to obtain his technician license to begin transmitting.
I've been considering learning Morse code (CW) at some point. While I'm not particularly interested in the newer "FT-whatever" technologies, I'm drawn to CW because of its status as a classic aspect of ham radio. I'm also eager to expand my overall knowledge of ham radio, as I still consider myself quite a novice in the field, despite holding an Extra-class license.
Recently, I've become a member of a club. I attended my first in-person meeting last month and participated in our most recent meeting, which took place over Zoom this past Friday. I'm looking forward to taking part in the POTA (Parks on the Air) activities organized by the GSARA (Greater Society for Amateur Radio Activities) club.
