Welcome to PRK Radio! 🎙️ I’m Jimmy (KI5PRK), a freshly licensed ham radio operator learning the ropes one QSO at a time. This channel is all about exploring amateur radio from a beginner’s perspective—mistakes, “aha!” moments, and everything in between. Join me as I take my gear out into the wild for Parks on the Air activations, test new setups, chase contacts, and discover just how far my signal can travel (spoiler: sometimes it’s not far at all). Whether you’re brand new to ham radio, a seasoned operator looking for a laugh, or just curious about the hobby, you’ll find a mix of tips, stories, and plenty of portable radio adventures. Grab your coffee, tune in, and let’s make some contacts together—because if I can figure this out, anyone can! 📻🌲
