Tripthi, K7TPT

I live in Portland, Oregon.  I’m 13 years old. I started ham radio with a Technician license in August 2020. I got my General in August 2021.

K7KVT was the person who got me interested in ham radio, and helped me get my license.

I use an Anytone 878 radio and I recently built a hotspot using a Raspberry Pi Zero.

My interests other than ham radio are:

  • Reading
  • Chemistry
  • Fixing things that are broken
  • Biking
  • Sushi 🙂
  • Baking

APRS Snapshot taken 0856 local time on Saturday, 6-4-22

Sparse attendance it appears…was busier when the doors opened this morning. This snapshot taken at 1330 local. I heard there were about 35 tables. This after a 3 year Covid-19 hiatus.
