    Well done Kostie!

    That's great news... studies have paid off nicely.

    Perhaps we can try for a contact via IRLP or similar sometime?

    BTW did you get the parcel I posted to you?

    Best, Paul

    Howdy! Kostie,

    Glad to hear You passed the Amateur Radio Operators License Exam.

    Being a SWL is one thing, being able to have QSO's is much better!

    After a schoolmate let me listen a bit to his Hallicrafter S-38, and
    a neighbor giving me a Midwest AM-FM-SW Radio so I could listen to it
    at home I got hooked.

    My school friend got his Novice license and that got me interested in
    wanting to know what those DITs and DAHs Him and His Buddies were saying
    when we were together.
    I figured they were talking about me, so I learned the Code so I would
    know what they were saying.

    You might say I learned the Morse Code in self defense. .... ..

    I am indeed looking forward to it. I've got a little handheld to start with, and have been shopping the 'ol Kijiji for a HF rig. Just hope it doesn't take too long for the certificate/callsign to come in the mail.
