I was just wondering, what is everyone's class here? Of the (what is it) 700,000 licensed amateur radio operators, roughly only 10% make Extra. I am wondering what is the percentage here on this message board.
I am just curious, what is everyone's class, how long have you been involved in Amateur Radio, are there any family members that also hams, and their class as well. (Calls are optional, but if you have a regular or vanity call, if so, your former calls)
I will lead off.
I have been involved since 2009 (although I was into scanners for 20 years before that). I got my Tech in April 2009, made General in February of 2010, and made Extra (finally) in May of 2011. My call was KD0HMI, but I changed it to a vanity 2 X 2 in June, getting my city and my initials KC0KM (Kansas City Zero Kelly McClanahan).
My father, although had his first taste of ham radio, some 50 years ago, he did not get his Tech until 2010, and made General in May (same day I made Extra), and made Extra back in September. His call was KD0MEG, but found out that his old roommate in college call was available, and got it W0UVX (he had known it for 50 years, so he has known his call longer than he has been a ham LOL).
