Hello, and thank you, to all of those who took the time to look me up.

I've been a licensed Amateur Radio Operator for 17 years, and have enjoyed every minute of it. My wife has been a huge supporter of my amateur radio activities, and continues to take interest. I can usually be found (locally) on:

• 443.050+(127.3)
• 444.200+ (127.3)
• 443.275+ (127.3)

or if linking is your thing:

• KC9LKZ-B (DSTAR)
• Echolink Node #390280 (KB9YQU)

As for the callsign, there's no coincidence. I am a Critical Care Paramedic, and have had the honor of serving in EMS for 21 years. I have been fortunate to serve in many facets of EMS, to inlude FIRE/EMS, County, and private. I have also served as an instructor in several disciplines, and have developed a couple of EKG/12 Lead interpretation courses. I have also developed and written a cardiovascular technology program for a medical arts college based in Florida. My most recent accomplishment is obtaining my Critical Care license, which has allowed me to serve as a Critical Care Paramedic and work in an ICU, something that is not currently being done anywhere else in the country. EMS has become my life, and I will continue to serve as long as my body will allow. I am continuing to meet radio amateurs who are also EMS professionals. If you are one , or even if you're not, feel free to drop me a line, I'd love to hear from you.

Now, enough about me.what about you?
