Thought about it forty years ago, but had to be fluent in Morse to get it. Been thinking about it.

No Morse now. The questions for the test are public, and if you have a decent memory it is easy to remember the answers. I did all three tests in a month.

I used HamTestOnline.com to study. It worked well for me. Passed the Tech and General in 2021 and the Extra exam in 2023. Have contacted 100 countries via phone with 100 watts and a wire antenna from Michigan. Great retirement hobby, but can be expensive if you want a “big” station.

My dad was a ham, and as a child I remember spending time with him in his ham shack and getting to talk on the air.

I married a ham. Then my 10 year old son became a ham. (Still don’t know how he managed to pass the test!) So I figured I’d better join them and got my license. I then managed to get my father’s old call sign. Full circle.

Back in the early 70s I ran a 50KW CW AM/DSB/SC system spec’ at 12AX7 (one voice, one fax and two RTTY banks with 22 chs each) from Lajes Field to the Andrews AFB and Croughton UK, Our antenna farm was 640 acres and had every kind of HF antenna you could name. Ran from 5.65 up to 24412 MHz depending on the time of day.

Join a ham club, they love to help others in the hobby.
