I have been enjoying amateur radio for about five or so months now. I'm about to take another license exam, to move from a Technician license to a General license.
I think it's a great hobby. At 61, I started learning about electronics when hollow-state devices were common and solid-state devices were still relatively new. It's been interesting to see how electronics have evolved over the years.
I'm hoping to pick up a nice ICOM radio when I pass my General exam in a couple of weeks. I'm also in the process of buying some land in Eastern Washington, in part to have a place where I can put up some HF antennas. Right now I only have space for a 2m Yagi on my back patio.
