[CTSARA] Greetings from Coral Springs FL KD7DAW

[Tom michaels]

I just wanted to take just a quick few lineS to introduce myself to the
club.
My name is Tom Herschlein and my call KD7DAW. I have spoken to a few of you
thru the WB1GRB-L Link on echolink. John has done such a supurb job with the
Echolink connection. I have forgotten the simplex frequency he operates his
link on
but i'm sure most of you know it. I look forward to speaking with you
whenever you
are on John's link. I am originally from Long Island right across the sound
over in Bayville.
I have been an amatuer for over 20 years and have been across the country
several times
including a 2 year stay in the Pacific NW in Okanogan Washington where I
got the 7 call.
At the time I thought I was going to stay there forever. NOT!!  Since then
I have lived
in New Hampshire, my favorite, back on Long Island and now fot the last 10
years
in Florida, 'not my favorite'. I am very glad we have Echolink and as a
matter of fact I was a pioneer
of running echolink mobile from my service van back in 2007 thru 2011 using
my laptop
and an air card, long before Echolink was on I-pods and I phones.
I kind of dazzled some of the folks at LIMARC on the 85 machine when I
became part of the commuter chat group there.
Not many people were doing what I was doing and it became a topic of
interest.
Laptop with air card and a mobile aircard antenna. It was so much fun.
Again I am happy to be on the air up in Stamford thru the WB1GRB link
Thanks to John for the use of his link. Hope to meet u on then air sometime
