My Ham Journey
I fell in love with amateur radio in 2021 when I earned my Technician license. The hobby pulled me in fast, and by 2023 I had completed both my General and Extra. These days you'll usually find me on SSB, and I get outdoors for Parks on the Air activations every chance I get.
What keeps me here is the community. Knowledge sharing and mutual support aren't just nice ideas in this hobby. They're the foundation of everything we do.
