Introduce yourself to Ethan Manzi, KD3BQP

Hai! My name is Ethan Manzi, I'm a 23 year old HAM operator, with intrests in radio(of course), computer science (programming), and going for walks. I got my license back in 2024, first getting my GMRS license, and then quickly thereafter, I upgraded to my Technician-class HAM license.

I try and participate in my local club, the Keystone VHF Club (W3HZU), and with my local ARES/RACES/Skywarn/AUXCOM group, called YARS up here. I've tried POTA a couple times, but have yet to really get into it. Mostly operate near my house, but often not inside it, because most of my antenna are mobile antennas, and I don't have the ground connection and such yet.

This is my personal blog, for sharing my experiences, findings, and revewing the products that I buy, to hopefully give others resources to decide if its worth getting for them too. I also host myself a logbook, and a few other utilities, since I have the domain anyways! If you got something to say, you're more than welcome to contact me!

What you’ll find here

• Blog posts about events that I work
• Reviews of products I purchase, receive, or use
