    Took a bit longer than intended because of scheduling conflicts, but the Mrs and I are finally licensed to terrorize the local airwaves!

    There's not much we can do until money is less tight, but it's nice being able to shout into the void with a cheap HT. I'm already learning Morse in hopes of getting a key and meeting some oddballs

    Congratulations! Always nice to see new people in the hobby. That's one of the
    nice things about being a VE.

    For Morse on some of the HF frequencies, and just for fun.

    It seems like a pretty great gig. Ours were nice, and everyone seemed
    genuinely welcoming at the local shack.

    VEs are genuinely pleased to see people pass the exams, we ARE volunteers, so we do it because of the reward we get from seeing folks who have studied hard get their new ticket or upgrade. Nothing more rewarding than being able to congratulate a candidate on a passing score.
