If you follow me on any social media, you probably already know this, but on Monday I passed my Amateur Extra (Element 4) exam for Amateur Radio. This is the highest license for ham radio in the US, and it was a lot of studying for me. I am excited to accomplish this in my life, and am currently researching a computer interface circuit for my radio that will allow me to work with digital modes like PSK31. Be looking for me on 20m PSK31 soon!
