Hello all,
I'm Sheikh "Kori" Rahman (KI5MKU), I just joined the BVARC last
Saturday when I took my exams and I wanted to go ahead and introduce
myself to everyone. I am an Aerospace Engineer by education (Masters
in AE from GA Tech 2011), with some experience in the Oil and Gas
industry. Currently living in Sugar Land, TX. I have been aware of the
amateur radio hobby for a long time but never took the steps to apply
until last month. Having been unemployed for a good while now, I have
taken up a lot of self-study in this time. While studying tensor
analysis I realized just how similar the equations of fluid dynamics
were to Maxwell's equations, and so I started learning more about
electromagnetic waves. One thing led to another and "The Algorithm"
suggested HAM radio, so I went ahead and took the leap. I contacted
Mark (K5MGJ) about testing, studied on YouTube and HamStudy.org for a
month and passed my Tech and General. I will be studying Gordon West's
(WB6NOA) book for the Extra class exam and plan to take it next month.
Looks like there are a lot of very smart folks in this club and I hope
to learn a lot from and hopefully contribute to the club as well.
Right now my main interests are exploring digital modes, and
RACES/ARES emergency communications. I have been programming and
building circuits projects since I was about 12 and I like making
random programs for fun. The more I learn about HAM the more I realize
I should have done this a long time ago! So I really want to learn
about the digital modes and maybe at some point contribute to the
software that exists or create more. I'm no stranger to RaspberryPi,
Arduino and other microcontrollers, which in my preliminary overview
of HAM appear to be used a lot. For now I've just got my cheap little
BaoFeng UV-5R which I have programmed using CHIRP. Hope to upgrade to
maybe a mobile UHF/VHF unit soon. I would like to try HF at some point
down the road as well, because the idea of off-grid long range
communication sounds really cool to me.
I have a long list of hobbies so I'll spare you unless anyone is
interested. However, if there are any Korean speakers please contact
me. Anyway, that's my spiel, feel free to contact me by responding to
this email or directly. I will be attending the ZOOM meeting tonight
as well. Thanks! 73s everyone!
