A brand new ham was minted today, my nephew KO4TEO got his general today.
It took him less than a month of self study and a couple of phone calls to me letting me know he was interested in getting his license. Passed his tech and general in one sitting. Needless to say I am rather proud. His area of interest right now is HF, but he will be unable to build a station in the condo he lives in right now. We had a nice long talk yesterday about HF mobile and portable operation.
