Zack's Website

Back in 2008, I stumbled into Amateur "Ham" Radio.  This is a really fun hobby for those of you that like to communicate and/or dabble in the workshop and/or work with electronics.  The hobby is so broad that you can do all kinds of things.  In fact it's so diverse I've dedicated an entire website of mine to the study.

Check out my Ham Radio web site at www.N8ZAK.com (my FCC call sign).

Some of the "quick-hits" regarding this hobby...
