Hello Mastodon.Radio! I’m not new to Mastodon, but I’m new to #HamRadio. I think I need a different type of account to communicate with the ham radio folks on Mastodon, so give me a bit to settle in and get my profile set up.

I’m in Southwest Missouri, and I just passed my general. I’ll go for my Extra in a year or so, it’s time to stop taking tests and get on the air. I’ve got my rig, and I’m hoping field day will get me some experience setting up.

@KF0YMN Welcome to the hobby. No need to rush the upgrade to Extra - get some experience, make your mistakes (we all do that, let’s hope they won’t be too expensive) and learn from them, and most importantly have a lot of fun!
