Hi to everyone, My name is Carlos and I have been a Ham Radio Operator since 1991. I got my first ham ticket in Miami, Florida for my birthday and received the call sign KD4EUO as a Novice. In the summer of '92 I upgraded to Technician class just in time for the hurricane season and boy were we busy that year (Hurricane Andrew 08/24/92). Then after I worked the relief effort for Miami-Dade County E.O.C. as a Shelter Communicator ( QST 1992 issue page 20 ) for 4 weeks I decided to return to my home island of Puerto Rico since I lost everything to Andrew except the things I took to the shelter and the clothes on my back.

    Once in Puerto Rico I requested a change of address and a new call sign, got the call WP4MNC. During the time I was in the island I volunteer my time to the PR Civil Defense during the hurricane season and even went to Saint Thomas, USVI to relay health & welfare messages after Hurricane Marilyn hit the island. A few years later made my upgrade to general and changed my call, got NP3CC. In 1998 moved to Kissimmee, Florida and changed address and call sign again, this time I got a ugly one, KG4ELW. Took advantage of the change in the CW requirement and upgraded to Extra Class and changed my call one more time, this time I got a nice one AG4CD, but I was still not satisfied with it.

    A good friend died with his wife in a ultra light plane crash and after waiting the required waiting period requested his old call sign and was granted to the actual one and this is the last one, KP3S. I love to DX and rag chew with the locals, enjoy digital modes, want to work satellites but the cost is too much for me but I will get into one of this days. I retired from radio in 2005 and got into a Harley Davidson for 2 years. Now I am returning to the air waves again.

    Hope to make WAS soon. See you around the bands and listen for KP3S from Puerto Rico, IOTA NA-99, Grid Locator FK68II.
