HAM Radio License

I have had the study guide for quite some time and finally got motivated to take the test on November 23, 2013.  The amateur radio technician license exam was fairly easy.  I finished it in about five minutes and only missed a couple of questions.

As of December 4, 2013 my license is official.  Be on the lookout for my new call-sign if you are on the air: KD2FFT

I have no plans right now of setting up my own station.  The purpose of obtaining the license was for utilizing APRS for tracking the balloon.  However, since my wife's brothers also passed the exam, I am sure I will end up with at least a hand-held transmitter.
