This past weekend my wife and I took amateur radio license tests, she tested for the Technician and I took both the Technician and General.

Today our call signs were issued: KD9TWC

Right now I’ve only got some HTs but, hopefully, eventually next year I’ll be able to start dipping my toe into HF as I’d really love to have that reach. We live in a rather rural area and I can sometimes just barely hear 1 repeater, and actually reach 2 other repeaters, but there just isn’t going to be a lot of 2M/70CM activity in this area given it is mostly corn and soy fields.
