KN4OLA
Obtaining my amateur radio license was something I wanted to do for a very long time and I finally pulled the trigger on it at the urging of one of my friends. Two weeks of evening-only study and I passed my Technician exam. Much thanks to the VE’s at the Richmond Amateur Radio Club and the practice exams available here: http://aa9pw.com/radio/.
You can find me on the W4RAT and W4CUL VHF repeaters. I’m also experimenting with APCO P25 as of late.
