Information About K5MQ
My Name is Dave, located in the beautiful town of Jena Louisiana, population 2900.
Jena is the largest town for about a 30 mile radius. K5MQ is in grid square EM31WQ. I have been an amateur radio operator for about 25 years and am active on 3.5 - 432 Mhz. I enjoy dxing and contesting on HF CW and also run QRP a lot when ragchewing on CW.
