"Our Mission"

Old Time Communications was created to provide local, regional and national help to new ham radio operators. By hosting a weekly net, we are offering curious operators answers to questions concerning the appropriate use of licensed Ham frequencies. We welcome everyone and anyone who is interested in Ham radio. Come join the fun!

There is something for everyone in Ham radio. Ares (Amateur Radio Emergency Service), World Wide Communications, Digital Radio Comm, Weather Watch are only a few of the many exciting features of modern radio.

We are here for your education and enjoyment.

KK4HIR (Mike),N8JRP (John)and KD8VHE (Kevin) helped fellow HAM KD8BLW (Neal) put up a new tower and antennas.
(See photo and link to the right)
We had a lot of laughs but kept right to the book with safety and procedure. Guy wires were always attached as well as climbing harness and safety gear.
This was a large tower almost 50' with an Antron and JPole to get Neal off and running.
He's gonna get out now!
*Update--
KK4HIR went back and finished the job getting both the Antron and JPole securely mounted.

check back often for updates.

Please stand by....
