I'm James, better known in the amateur radio community as K8JKU. My journey into this fascinating world began in 2021 with my Technician license, and I've since expanded my expertise, achieving the General and Extra licenses in 2023.

My passion lies in SSB/Phone operations, and I find immense joy in participating in Parks on the Air (POTA) activations. What captivates me most about amateur radio is the community's ethos of knowledge sharing and unwavering support. I believe in the collective growth of our hobby.

I co-host the Everyday Ham podcast alongside Rory (W8KNX) and Jim (N8JRD). Our show is dedicated to the diverse world of amateur radio, offering something for everyone—casual conversations, real stories, and insights into the experiences that make ham radio so exciting. Tune in and join the conversation at www.everydayham.com!

As an enthusiastic member of the South Lyon Area Amateur Radio Club (N8SL), I'm surrounded by a group that's as active and passionate about amateur radio as I am. Together, we ensure that the airwaves are never dull!

In addition to my club activities, I am also an organizer for the Michigan Parks on the Air (POTA) meetup. This event brings together amateur radio enthusiasts from across the state and region to share our love for radio and the great outdoors. More information about our events can be found on the Michigan POTA Meetup website.

Stay tuned for more stories from my activations and feel free to reach out.

Happy hunting, and 73
