About KO6OFK

I am an amateur radio operator based in Northern California with interests in emergency communications, public service, repeater operations, Winlink, VHF/UHF, HF radio, digital modes, and field communications.

My amateur radio activities focus on practical communications, emergency preparedness, public service support, and field operations. I enjoy learning, testing equipment, improving station capability, and supporting communications during special events, public service operations, or when normal systems may be limited.

I also maintain KO6OFK.com , an amateur radio resource website featuring operating guides, equipment information, digital-mode resources, emergency communications material, and useful links for both new and experienced operators.
