             Bill Vermette

KD7FDW (General) Board Four

He has been an Amateur Radio operator for 10 years and holds a General class license.  Bill "got into " amateur radio because he wanted a way to stay in contact or call for help on his outings in the wilderness.  When he's on one of his camping outings he always has his hand held with him!  

Bill has no HF rig but don't worry, we'll talk him in to getting involved with that area of amateur radio real soon.   He is into the "gadget" part of amateur radio!  He loves putting "Kits" together and recently built a Tiny Track Byionics Kit to use to help track kayakers on an upcoming kayak trip.  His next kit will be a QRP HF SSB kit.
