[Gary]

Figured I better put some info about me on here. My name is Gary Griggs. My callsign is KC9FHE. I have been licensed since January of 2004. I have some other interests besides ham radio. I am a Civil War reenactor. I am the First Sergeant of Co. D, 5th Va. Inf. Reg. I am also a life member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. I am currently the First Lt. Commander of the local SCV camp, A.J. Ringo Camp #1509. I am a veteran of the U.S.M.C. I was a tanker in the Marine Corps. The Marine Corps actually gave me my first experience with two-way radio communications. We had a two or three day class on radio communications while I was at tank school. I am also a member of the local ARES and RACES groups. I have also been an active participant in Skywarn since I received my license.
