A big week for me in ham. I got a hermes lite and amp through my club and did my first power poles on every device to connect it to a power strip. I ran an end fed gutter antenna and they helped get my software up and tour the bands, voice and FT8. My little station is looking good! #ham #hamradio

Been having fun with my new Anytone! Sending some APRS messages, getting the hang of spotting satellites (birds) to extend transmission range. Already have a fresh project I want to try with it! #hamradio #theoutpost

Obsessed with quail and decided to see what I could do with #vibecoding using #visualstudio with Copilot in agent mode. This was built with #MAUI using the #Blazor hybrid. I stepped in on certain parts like authentication and especially cleaning up razor. #dotnet #quail #homestead #selfsufficiency

It's been some work getting things set up and finding a good routine, but the ladies have settled and given me my first egg!

- cool but distant (3)
- they're fine (3)

Hey, so I read this and it stuck with me, so I decided to write a quick-and-dirty guide to getting licensed without having to actually deal with people. I hope it helps, and hope you end up on the air soon!

If you are interested in getting your ham radio license, let me break it down for you. If you're coming to ham radio for the purposes of mutual aid and preparedness (like many of us do) it can be very daunting to make sense of. Let's start with the basics.
