I finally did it! I went to our local Radiofest on March 3rd and passed the Technician exam. I've been wanting this for as long as I can remember and now has finally become a reality.
I am trying to update my profile to reflect my status, but RadioReference has an outdated database. Anyone know how often or when the next database synchronization will take place? I even tried manually entering my data and received an error.
My next step is studying for my General class exam so I can get into HF operations. I probably should try and find an HT radio first and enjoy the hobby first huh. I'm just really excited and getting in way over my head.
Anyone have an HT they are willing to donate or sell really cheap to an SSI recipient? Hehe, guess I'll have to buy one of those Baofang radios.
Anyways I hope to get on the air soon and I'm sure there are a few Amateurs who roam these forums I can try and give a shout out to.
