001 - An Introduction To The Host of This Podcast

Hi! My name is Cliff Ravenscraft and in this introductory episode, I share my background and journey that has led me to amateur radio.

Some key points:

- I've had a lifelong fascination with radio and communication technology, starting from a young age with toys like Mr. Microphone and CB radios.

- As a teenager, I briefly explored getting an amateur radio license but didn't follow through at the time. My interests shifted to other forms of communication like BBSs, the early internet, blogging, and eventually podcasting.

- At age 51, I finally decided to pursue my amateur radio license and get back into that world of radio communication.

- My call sign is KQ4UUR and chances are that you might find me popping up on repeaters all over the world.

- In the next episode, I'll share more about what sparked my renewed interest in amateur radio and how I'm approaching getting involved in this hobby.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]. I look forward to sharing more of my amateur radio journey with you!
