path to my brother's and obtain degree in

There have been a lot of changes in my life
since graduation from East Hampton High
School. A summer work experience
arranged by a Ham Radio friend opened
new doors for me. I changed my major to
Electrical Engineering, and am attending
Clemson University in South Carolina.
After setting up my apartment and computer,
I gained permission to put up an
antenna on the top of the building. lt still
needs some tweaking, but I am able to get
some RF out. Over Labor Day weekend, I
attended the Shelby Hamfest in Charlotte,
North Carolina. Now I am trying to join up
with the Clemson Amateur Radio Club. As
you can see, Ham Radio is a huge part of
my life I
