MEMBERS SPOTLIGHT
Paul Roy (N1OG)
I love operating my radio on the go, whether it's in a park, up in the mountains, or anywhere outdoors. When I first got into ham radio, I mainly used digital modes. I had a great time using FT8, JS8, VarAC, Winlink, SSTV, and all the modes in Fldigi. These days, I mostly use single sideband (SSB) for phone operation, but I still use digital modes every now and then. I always say that "ham radio makes me feel dumb every day, and that's okay." There's always something new to learn in this hobby.
I love the outdoors and I’m very interested in Parks on the Air. I just recently learned about Summits on the Air! I’ve acquired a 10-meter transceiver and have made quite a few contacts, both stateside and DX, all within 28.3 and 28.5 MHz. I’m currently studying for my general exam that’s coming up this January. As for modes, I’m very happy with phone SSB.
