(and Gents)Please welcome "Tori", KC0EEP. She is based out of St Louis, Missouri. Here is an excerpt off her QRZ site: Have been involved in emergency preparedness as a Ham for 10 years, and professionally in the Corporate Security field for 21. I certainly still have plenty to learn about emergency communications, but contribute what I do know as a member of the St. Louis and Suburban Radio Club, St. Louis County A.R.E.S., Manchester CERT, and St. Louis County R.A.C.E.S.. SKCC #4894C FISTS #11980, NAQCC #2962. Retired Army and serving as Chaplain/Women's history coordinator for The American Legion St. Louis Servicewomen's Post 404. Play the mountain dulcimer and piano. The dogs in the picture are (left to right), Olive and Greta, both certified as Therapy Dogs with the Foundation for Pet Provided Therapy (Love-on-a-Leash). Olive is an Australian Cattle Dog mix and Greta is a Doberman mix. Both are rescues and enjoy visiting hospitals, especially the VA. They also enjoy triking with mom on a Catrike Pocket recumbent trike. As of this update I am operating HF on an ICOM 706MKIIG (owned by KD0EPN), coupled to an off-center fed Windom (132' long and about 35' off the ground). The keys that I'm using most often are a Navy Flameproof (straight), and a 1961 standard Vibroplex bug. When mobile, I operate an ICOM rig as well, and use a Kenwood TH-22AT or a Yaesu VX-2R for an HT as needed. 73, God Bless, and thanks again for visiting with me, Tori Philippians 4:801:00:00LADYHAM KF7CDBnoCurrent events,Emergency preparedness,ARES RACES,AMATEUR RADIO HAM RADIO,St Louis Mo KC0EEPPlease welcome "Tori", KC0EEP.
