I am now a HAM

Any HAMs here? I took my element 2 today, and passed with flying colors. Addmittedly, I'm not that into the culture yet, but I'm excited to start using the licence. I needed to get the Technician licence for testing out my senior project (designing and building a 440MHz repeater station for my college). If there are any interested HAMs, I can post the link to the project website (still under construction) so that you can follow my progress!
 
I took the test about 3 or 4 years ago, and am sad to say I failed...I guess looking at the practice questions really doesn't hurt. I may go for it again sometime, but actually look at what's on the test. What's your call sign?
 
Um, I have powerpoles in all my vehicles. That's about as close I get to knowing WTF you are talking about 😀
 
crap, mine expired last year, I just checked. I took the test when I was 15, that was fun, I bought the study book the night before and aced the test the next day. They make it too easy now that you don't have to learn morse
 
yeah I have a HAM license ... don't know where all the paper work went since I just got lazy didn't update my address.
 
Yeah I know 2 old guys who are HAM's. One guy has like 20 HAM Certificates all over his walls. HAM isn't as good as teh intraweb though.

I studied using the ARRL "Now You're Talking" study guide from my local library. It was a slightly outdated version though (covered up to July 2k3 exams). I don't have a callsign as of yet, I have to wait for them to submit the paperwork to the FCC. I'm hoping for K2WTF 😀

haha, you'd be lucky to get anything with 5 characters, but that would rule 😛
