    Thanks for watching! That’s the reason I shared the video, to hopefully
    help inspire some people to get started in the hobby!

    Cool vid, thanks for sharing. I picked up the ARRL manual today and I’m
    completely engrossed already. Hope to have my license and call sooner than
    later. I might do a first contact video as well. Interested in a Wouxun
    radio as well, how do you like it so far?

    day! – Jake, KDØTGA in Fargo, ND

    Congratulations for getting your call sign. Glad to know there are still
    people who believe that despite all advances, basic radio theories are
    still well, basic and real. I got through my RAE in the late sixties.Ham at
    least helps me to keep in touch with digital advancement too. 73s.
