I’m going to try and hop on 20m in my high-noise floor area (lots of EMI) and try to QSO on 10-12W.
I suppose I should practice Morse code, too.
How about you?
E: Fediverse PSA: Getting your (US) license has never been easier—there is no Morse code requirement! Just memorize the answers to the questions (perfectly legal) and take the test, I did all three of mine online, one of which was from a beach on a Pacific island during the pandemic!

My local CERT is doing a cram and test soon, I think I'll sign up. I always wanted to try and CERT needs more people that know how

Probably just join the local vhf round, they are pretty chill people. Sadly, I don't have much time

Yeah, I just want to stay in contact with them, maybe get some local radio news. I am pretty lucky that there are a bunch of local chapters of which most seem to be nice people.
