HELP! I am at Hamvention 2026 and I lost one of my HT radios today. I laser etched my name and call sign into it and I am hoping someone looks me up. If you have it and looked up my call, please call or text me at 231-335-7467 or email me at mike@w8mkg.net because I should be around until the end of Hamvention.
Well, Hello! You found my site! I'm sorry, this is very much under construction and only worked on for 5 minutes at a time and won't have much polish to it for a while if ever. Maybe you should check me out on QRZ. There's at least SOMETHING there! 73
Oh, while I am here, I should probably leave some contact info. There's an about me page but I think it's broken.
My name is Mike Schmalz, and my QTH is Muskegon, Michigan USA. Grid square is EN63.
If you are local to me, I tend to monitor 2 meters on the W8ZHO repeater, and sometimes on WD8MKG repeater, but that one doesn't come in so well for me. Also sometimes on the W8IRA Link System, but I usually only join nets there so I am not kerchunking the entire state of Michigan.
You can email me at mike@w8mkg.net
I am also linked to this cool thing called Hamshack Hotline. It's a private VoIP Telephone System set up for hams for out of band communication. My shack can be reached at extension 6100001386 on the Hamshack Hotline system.
