Welcome! My name is Jason Begley, and if you are here you’ve found my amateur radio pages. So far there is not that much to put online, but I plan to add things as I find them. I got call in July 2010 as KC9SVK, and quickly proceeded to get my general, then extra. I applied and received my vanity call of KY9J in September of 2010. I want to say thanks for all the info, and help everyone has given me in this hobby. Hope you find something interesting here.

Well, congratulation to me! Just finished WAS on Logbook of the World (last QSL was 7-30), and EQSL was early July. This was one of my goals being new to the hobby, and it has helped me learn alot, and even driven me to learn CW. So I have my sights set on DXCC now and maybe I can look at that for next years goal. If you are doing some state hunting check out K3UK’s SKED page, it really helped me out for the last few. Thanks for all the help!
