[–] 667@lemmy.radio 3 points 3 weeks ago

In preparing to get my ticket in 2020, I hopped on the Utah WebSDR and even got a shortwave listener (SWL) QSL card from a guy in the Cook Islands (E51JD).

Earlier this year I made a two-way QSL (contact) with him using my rig and 100W.

There’s a ton to learn, do, or accomplish if you want. So many facets to amateur radio.

I’m working on CW now!
