Ham radio.

A week ago today I took the amateur radio technician exam, proctored by the Midland Amateur Radio Club. I passed, getting 32 of 34 questions correct. On Thursday, according to the ‘new hams’ page on qrz.com, I was assigned the callsign KE5UAF by the FCC.

I was very hopeful that I would get my callsign by April 26th, as I am going camping with at least one other ham. Looks like the FCC is on the ball. :)

I also purchased a Icom IC-T7H from ebay as my first tranceiver radio. With any luck it will be in decent shape when I get it.
