Just get your ticket? Let us know here!

Suggested by sporkme , this is a thread for those who might have come here and gotten interested, and/or those who have just been newly licensed. It would be great to keep track of our members and visitors who checked out the forum and subsequently received their tickets.

Maybe evilghost can kick it off by adding a post here about he and his dad just getting licensed.

Place holder, will update when I get my callsign.

Excellent, HF can be a lot of fun and it doesn't have to take fancy antennas and radios to enjoy. Propagation seems to be improving weekly.

Now on to the Extra?

Going to Hamvention next year?

P.S. Disregard the sbcglobal.net address....am at work and they are connected to SBC.

Hello Everyone,

I took my Technician Class Exam on 3/29 and received my license on 4/3. I am now studying for my General Class license and am planning to take the test for it on 4/29.

Congratulations you guys! Thanks for letting us know.

Hi there.
Had my novice back in the mid 70's, but due to circumstances back then let it expire.
Recently got the bug again, took the test, and was issued KD8IIB on April 10th.

Double welcome then ... welcome back, and thanks for joining the site!

Just got listed on the ULS today... \o/ \o\ /o\ /o/ \o\

My new callsign now shows up in the ULS....

I am now W0LKC.

Many years ago, I got my ticket in Canada as VE6LKC. Have both Basic and Advanced qualifications up there (which makes me fully qualified.)

I became less active though after working a flood in '95 (next time I'll try not to discount the importance of my getting sleep and food during it), and even more so when I ceased to be a home owner (and moved to the US [in '98], when I stopped completely....on account the regs say a US citizen in the US needs a US license.)

I only just got around to taking exams to get a US license...passed Technician on June 1st, passed General on June 22nd. Plan to study, and try for Extra ... possibly the next time a test session rolls around.

I had tried General when I wrote Tech, and with no studying for it...I only missed it by 2. I was asked if I wanted to try for Extra after I passed my General, but choose not to. Since the test was about to change, and I was fairly sure that I wouldn't pass.....had done a practice one and only gotten 48%.

Actually, before I wrote the Tech, I had done a practice General online...and also missed it by 2.

Anyways...soon after I got my sequentially assigned FCC callsign, I put in a vanity callsign application....

I did check in a few times to local 2m nets using the previous FCC callsign (KD0EFR). Now I'm waiting for the next 2m net to announce my new callsign

FWIW, I largely motivated into getting a license after a ice storm last winter. Sitting around in the dark with no power, no light, no heat, and no Internet, I started reading through the Technician study book.

You may be a dreamer, but I'm The Dreamer, the definite article you might say!

Congratulations, and thanks for sharing the motivation ... that's good info for the "why bother" folks.

Finally.. for some reason it was not coming up under the search but here it is...

Passed Technician today and bought my first rig. Should have my calls mid next week! Next stop - General!

And the FCC has chosen... and I am KJ4FIK. Coming soon to an Atlanta area repeater near you.

Congrats Subaru!!!

KB1 Quebec-XRay-Oscar, sounds like a mighty fine call to listen for on the bands!!

The phonetics there sound VERY distinct, I think you will find that call to be excellent for Contesting and Weak Signal work.

In addition to just talking on the local repeaters that is..

"Lithium is no longer available on credit"

I passed all three elements tonight.
The VEs said I was the second one to pass all the elements with one test fee in last 6 months. I also got to be the first person to take and pass the updated Extra test in the group.

Should have my Extra call sign by the end of the week.

Best of luck to all who are studying.

That's pretty impressive. Congratulations!

Well, it's kind of like being a rookie and winning the MVP and super bowl. No where to go but down

Congratulations!!! That's quite an accomplishment to be proud of. Let us all know when you show up in the FCC database with that shiny new call sign.

As for me, if nothing grabs too much of my time between now and the test, I'll shoot for Sept when the next test is given in my area and if not, the following month. We'll see how it goes. But I sure can't match the hat trick you just pulled off. Congrats again!
