Welcome to the online home of K5MSK!




My page is very bare as the moment. Hey! At least it loads really fast!

I passed Elements 2 & 3 on July 6th, 2013 and my General Class license appeared in the FCC database on July 10, 2013. I didn't really study much before the exams as I've been an electronics hobbyist since I was about 8 years old - tearing things apart and seeing what I could do with the parts I gleaned from the poor victim. Sometimes I brought new things to life; sometimes not. But it's been a learning experience and I can finally check one thing off my bucket list. Of course, now I've added Amateur Extra to the bucket list.

Amateur radio interests include: CW, QRP, building my own antenna(s) when I have time, trying to bounce 2m signals off a satellite, ARES, local club, getting on HF sometimes, etc. etc. etc...

Prolific driver for Baofeng cable - Install before connecting the cable. Otherwise, you will need to delete the old driver before installing this one. This is only needed for the generic (counterfeit?) cables that sell really cheap. Genuine FTDI USB programming cables don't need this this "hack".
