K9DWB
QRT
I took my Technician license test last month with a radio club in my region. I took the test Monday evening and the call sign showed on Wednesday morning, 1.5 day turnover is fine with me. First order of business for the licensee was to do an administration change to add the Question and Answer to access my license account. Second was to list an email that was spelled correctly. delta.water.brovo.1994 wasn't going anywhere. Still not done, I had to request a vanity call. The sequential D class KC3PRU seemed to be a mouthful, so I searched ULS to see if there was something I liked. I just used the ULS online request for vanity submitted with a big list of 2. I couldn't find many vacant calls. Business day 13, yesterday, choice 1 was accepted partly due to that this call was vacant since 2017. Henceforth I am K9DWB.
Then the real fun began. Ham Radio Outlet sent me this FT3D with a few antennas and the RT Systems program software. I'll quickly be getting into better remote antennas as I happen to be about 5 miles too far away to get the repeaters. I can hear several, but none hear me yet.
Next month? An antenna "kit" and likely getting General then as well. And surprise I used to be an evil CBer while driving 18 wheelers for 11 years.
