About

Hi, I'm Martin — M3ISJ

First and foremost, thank you for visiting my website.

My name is Martin. I first received my callsign on 11 February 2005, and was largely active on the 2m and 70cm bands until 2007, when I lost interest in the hobby. After chatting with a fellow radio ham about the Baofeng UV-5R, I picked up one of the handsets and became active again in 2015.

After the handheld, I moved on to a base station. I chose the Wouxun KG-UV950P because it covers the bands I use most and fits perfectly into the new shack — 2m, 6m, 70cm and 4m. I then came across Pi-Star and decided to buy a Pi-Star hotspot, as I can't get any of the local repeaters from my current location.

Now that the Pi-Star is in the shack, I use the Retevis RT82 and mainly monitor the HUB Net chat group on DMR.

That's all there is to it.

73,
Martin (M3ISJ)
