I took my test in December. I was licensed a General as KK4FYS on December 30, 2011. I've been following here and QRZed, tried Echolink a few times but it feels kinda "Skypeish" to me, But I had never made a radio contact. So tonight I went to our school club shack and check into my local community net and I was excited. I had jitters for a hour waiting to check in. I throw out my call sign and the Net control verified it, I was off.
And then it was dead. The played the Amatuer Radio newsline report and closed the net. I was very underwelmed, but because I can now claim I am an operator and not just a licencee.
I came home a promptly bought a Yaesu FT-60R with a Diamond SRH77CA SMA Anntenna. (I did get the correct antenna for this radio, Didn't I?)
I'm a HAM.
