- Even though I am a licensed ham, callsign KF4LMT, I consider myself more of a general radio hobbyist. Mostly, I monitor military, federal, and Fire/EMS communications. Outside of radio, I am a die-hard motorsports fan. In particular, I follow F1, sports car racing (ALMS especially), IRL, and NASCAR.
