I’ve been reading and studying and taking practice tests for my amateur radio general class license. I’m a technician class now. The cool thing, from my perspective, is that (Morse) code is optional and I’m opting out. Time was you needed to know the code to get the license. I’ll probably learn the code at some point — I’m sure there are good resources for it.
I want to upgrade because I do. Circular logic FTW! No, I met a guy on Facebook who also does radio and who I’d like to talk to. And I just think it’d be cool to not be a rookie anymore.
My call sign is KD5SBI. I’m looking forward to operating in the general bands, once we get the equipment unpacked and set up. I used to have a handheld but it got lost in the move to Katy (I’m sure it’s in a box in the library somewhere).
