My name is James Smith, I live in Greens Fork, Indiana which is in East Central Indiana (Wayne County). We live on 10 acres of the most beautiful ground you have ever seen. I have been a Amateur (Professional) Operator for many years now. I hold an Extra Class license, this allows me to communicate worldwide which is really cool. And allows me the opportunity to also communicate on a local level via Repeaters and such.
