I forgot to mention (among all the craziness of the new site and all…) that I passed my 5-wpm Morse Code (Element 1) exam and the General Exam (Element 3) this weekend so I am a General Class Amateur now. I’m studying for Amateur Extra but the morse code is behind me now. I also got accepted into the Collin County Amateur Radio Emergency Service so in disasters I will be helping out (like these folks did) as a volunteer. When we move, I’ll hopefully quickly become a part of the Denton ARES group and eventually go through the storm spotter training early next year. Fun stuff!
