Last week I sat for the Technician and General Amateur Radio License exams after several weeks of study and review. I managed to pass both exams (the testers wouldn’t tell any of us how many questions we missed).
Today I learned that my license has been granted and that my call sign is KE5UWE.
So, now the question is … what will I do with my new General ticket? Is there such a thing as a low-budget ham shack these days? If I know me, I’ll spend weeks or months planning, researching, comparing and evaluating all the options before I even begin to think about actually obtaining any radio equipment. I also may want to continue studying for my Extra Class ticket and learning code.
Maybe I’ll just spend the summer gardening, kayaking, cycling and doing other outdoor stuff and save the woodwork, music and radio stuff for the shut-in months. You never know.
