In my short 3 years as an amateur radio operator, I have discovered more hobbies within ham radio than I think I will ever be able to truly explore. I run net control once a month for my club's 2m simplex net. Getting my license during the recent solar minimum, I still managed to grab WAS on SSB, voice, 40m with 100 watts and a wire. I build my own antennas and can usually manage to solder components without permanently burning my fingertips. I love helping new hams on social media or in real life. Also a private pilot and 3d printing tinkerer.
