Welcome to KE8PRB.ORG

My name is chris, amateur call sign KE8PRB from Cincinnati, Ohio. I am a dad, an IT professional, a veteran, and a ham. Camping and amateur radio are two hobbies that I picked up during COVID. During the lock-downs, I took to sweeping local radio bands with a receiver attached to my computer, known as a Software Defined Radio (SDR). Hearing radio chatter again woke up the forgotten corner of my brain where “the commo guy” lived. I was a radio operator with the Ohio National Guard way back in the late 1900’s. As a family, we took up hiking and camping as our social distancing activities. When COVID restrictions were lightening up, we took a road trip to the Outer Banks. It reminded me that America is a big beautiful place, and that I should see a lot more of it.
