Outdoor Adventure USA

Greetings!

Thanks to the wonders of Google I was able to find your forum and site.

Larry Schultz. N4TKS. Live in San Diego. I have been a Ham operator for more than 20 years. Purchased my first truck in 1993 and enjoyed some off road, but it was not until 2002 when I purchased my F-250 4x4 that I really got out from the pavement and enjoyed the rest of the outdoors. Grew up in the boy scouts, (lots of camping and hiking), but since I have gotten older, I much perfer the camping in my 30' 5th wheel. Wife and I have towed that thing all across the country in the last 10 years. Much perfer dry camping with friends to RV parks. (I know not exactly 4 wheeling rigs, but we still get around)

I have been very active with San Diego Sheriff Search and Rescue (and other details) since 2000.
Currently Active Duty US Navy (Senior Chief) 24+ years.

Even though I now have a general ticket, I don't own any HF gear, and I still have not made my first HF contact (somehow I am certain this group could help me rectify that situation).

Looking forward to the San Diego Meet and Greet. (Should be back in country by then)

I'll be the first to say welcome! I am in the same boat as you, I have my general but have never worked HF. Someday..

Welcome aboard OAUSA, Larry !!!

We'll be running a Field Day event June 22-24, 2012 (Summerfest), which will provide plenty of opportunity to make HF contacts across the country...

Welcome to the site! Hopefully you'll be able to attend one of our events or get out for a trail run sometime.

I would love to be able to say "see ya at Summer Field day", but I can't confrim I will be back in country by then.
