How did you get into amateur radio? Was there a moment that hooked you?
Jesse Alexander, WB2IFS/3@sergio_101 Hearing my own callsign in #CW on 40m for the first time 50 years ago. I was 15 years old. WN2IFS
yeah! were you on the novice band of 40m? I loved that time.. I used to hang out there when i progressed my license, just to halp shaky fists i heard get comfortable.
I need to pull my logs from the early 90s and see who my first #CW contacts on the novice band were.
@sergio_101 I started out on the novice band on 40m bcs my #heathkit #DX60B had crystals and I didn’t upgrade to the #vfo until later.
@sergio_101 yeah I was first on the air in the 1970s. Shortwave was hot back then. So many stations to explore! I used to use the Canadian navy numbers station for #cw practice.
@sergio_101 here's my origin story
