I Finally Did It

Written By Kyle Pratt

After years of procrastination, I can finally check this off my bucket list. Yesterday, I passed the amateur radio technician class test. With a bit of luck, I will soon be a ham radio operator. I say “bit of luck” because I’m dealing with the government. My call sign must appear in the Federal Communications Commission license database before I can go on the air. These guys are like the DMV of the airwaves so, who knows how long it will take?

In the picture shown here, I’m holding the Ham Radio School Technician License Course book I used to study. I passed the test on the first try so, that is probably the best recommendation I can offer. The Chinese-made Baofeng radio in my left hand is a popular inexpensive model. I’ll probably review it once I can do more than listen.
