Your career

All the news from the peanut gallery and where all the nasty trash talk fails miserably.
It can get NSFW-ish here: you have been warned!

WB5UDC here. Never really was much of an operator, I enjoyed the technical aspects a whole lot more. Liked building stuff, and thought SSTV and computer operated coding was just so nifty. Am a general too, but on/off study up for the Extra, maybe will take it at the next hamfest in Feb.
If you can't be a good example, you can still serve as a horrible warning.

For some reason, I ran this through the gibberish translator app and it came out lucid. Imagine my shock.

I've been idle lately, but when I'm active you can find me around 14.070 operating PSK31, or on 50.125 simplex. Amateur Extra class. KC8KZY

I have a general license but I won't post my callsign here because I don't want WTC doing a lawn job in front of my house before I have time to load my rile.

Haven't used my license in years though -- it doesn't feel as special now that the FCC doesn't manage the exams anymore; but FWIW, I was happier doing CW with people in far away countries versus voice chatting about something close to nothing with locals on 2 meters. Maybe things have improved recently?

Way too lazy for manual labor, too easily-distracted for a desk job.
