Ham Radio Operator KI7F checks Into a Denver 2 mtr FM net
Uploaded by: Philovideo
Video Description:
I am Bill Wolverton and one of my hobbies is Amateur Radio (Ham Radio) and my FCC issued ham radio call sign is KI7F. I first became an amateur radio operator back in 1967 when I was still in high school.I had world wide global communications back in those days with out wires or the internet, just radio! This is a video of me Using my Icom 2000H 2 meter FM transceiver to check into the weekly 9 AM Sunday morning Colorado Repeater Association (CRA) 2 meter FM club net held on the Denver area 147.225 Mhz 2 meter FM repeater. In the video I was using my Icom IC-2000H 2 meter FM transceiver with an indoor 1/2 wave J vertical antenna and running about 5 watts on the low power setting. The larger radio seen on my desk is a Grundig Satellit 800 portable (Kind of big for a portable receiver!) that I use for shortwave radio broadcast listening (SWL'ing) and to monitor the different HF amateur radio bands. I have no HF transmitting capabilities at the moment.
The camera used for this video was a Sony DSC-H2 digital still camera in MPEG video mode. This video was taken with a Sony DSC-H2 digital still camera in MPEG movie mode. My home web page is http://www.ki7f.com/ (Still under construction) and I have hundreds of photos posted at http://community.

I enjoyed watching your video Bill. There's not many people out there that could make a video about such a mundane subject as checking into a local repeater net, and making it funny. You should have being in the movies Bill!! 73's Michael (M0CRC)
