I'm new to SOTA, POTA, and ham radio in general. I've always loved hiking and am looking to improve my fitness while also enjoying a new hobby.

Hello from Marysville, Washington! I first became exposed to amateur radio through my work at the National Weather Service. It took me about 13 years but I finally studied and obtained my Technician license in January 2024. I switched my assigned callsign (KK7QWK) to WX7RAW since "WX" is widely used as shorthand for "weather" and RAW are my initials.
For the moment, I can be found on 2m/70cm FM simplex and repeaters in the Puget Sound region either from my home in Marysville or on my daily commute to Seattle and back. As many do these days, I started with a Baofeng UV-5R8W and Explorer QRZ-1 and am trying to get as much out of them as I can. I'm a member of the WA7LAW – The Snohomish County Hams Club. I'd like to explore SOTA & POTA in 2024.
Professionally, I serve as the Warning Coordination Meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Seattle, WA. In this role, I serve as the primary liaison between the National Weather Service and its core partners. I hold a Master’s in Atmospheric Science from the University of Washington.
