Greetings! Here’s a little about myself. I was first licensed as a Novice on May 21, 1991 as KD4AWV at the age of 13. I was issued W4MLN (W 4 Marty Lynn Norris) on January 7, 2001. I try to stay active on all bands 160 meters through 440 and love to chase DX. I'm a 2000 graduate of Appalachian State University and hold a B.S. degree in Technology Education and a 2006 graduate of Appalachian State University with a M.A. degree in Instructional Technology. I'm currently employed by the Ashe County School System as a Technology Facilitator/Technician. As an additional hobby, I have worked part time for 580 WKSK in West Jefferson, NC since August 1998 doing both technical and on-air duties. Thanks for stopping by and God bless.
