I've been a member here for a while, apparently. When I went to register I found that my e-mail was already registered to an account here, and by signing in I read that I've never posted here before.
Let me say first, that I am NOT the Steven who was recently incarcerated in Suffolk County, although I currently reside in Suffolk, and at the risk of sounding even more fishy, I came from Queens to Suffolk so use a second address in Queens.
With that said, my name is Steven (as you've probably already gathered), and I'm a student at Stony Brook, in Suffolk. majoring in meteorology. Although this is my first semester here at SBU, I transferred from a community college in Queens and so I'm technically a second-year student. I came from the Forest Hills area of Queens, and visit there on the weekends. (Just came back tonight actually from a weekend trip there.) I'm 19-- and don't intend on stealing radios, nor have I ever stolen anything; swear on my life. To those of you familiar with the recent story that broke on the news about the 18-year-old in Suffolk, I guess only time will prove that I'm not who was arrested. If need be, I'm sure moderators could check my IP address and compare it with the other Steven in question; in fact, I welcome it.
I'm new to the hobby but not to radios. I've been fascinated by it for a while; a family member of mine served in the Marines and dealt with radio communications while serving. Now that I go to a university with a large radio station and someone who may be willing to be an Elmer and help me get a Technician's license, I've put my interest in amateur radio back on the front burner. While it might not be my main priority (sorry, school comes first before anything at this point in my life), it's something I want to pursue, as I'm sure it will come in handy later in life with my career path in the atmospheric sciences. Another of my many hobbies is cigars-- and to any who say it's not a hobby, you're right and wrong in a way-- it's "just smoking" if you're not a cigar smoker, but if you are, it's more than a hobby, it's a way of life.
I look forward to talking to you all, and maybe one day when I get my license, DX with a couple of you guys.
P.S.: I searched and looked for an intro thread but couldn't find one for the life of me. If a moderator knows of one and can transfer this to that thread, or section, please do so (and I'm sorry for not finding it). Thanks.
