ND2G

Got my Tech ticket in November 2018 (KD2QYD), upgraded to General December 2018, and then to Extra in November 2019.

I mostly enjoy ssb and cw, although I do play around with digital modes now and then..

I've also been enjoying park activations with https://parksontheair.com/

In May of 2019 I completed the CWops CW Academy Level 1. That was a great jumping off point and I learned a ton, the tricky bit now is finding time to get on the air and make those QSOs.

I made a super simple morse trainer that pulls snippets from wikipedia to practice receive.
