Comment on New Objective: Convince an astronaut to use the Fediverse from space

If I were to do it again I’d study for at least up to General. Most clubs will let you test for General for free immediately after passing Technician. I ended up passing Technician, but not General. It’s been a few years so I’ll have to re-study and go back.
General unlocks a lot of the fun HF privileges.

I did - I’ve got my general license.

Nice! I misread you not txing to mean you weren’t licensed yet, my bad!

No worries! It’s a cool hobby. Getting licensed was a bucket list item, as nerdy as that sounds. Still gotta learn Morse code but I hope to one of these days. Seeing some old heads tapping away at a local HAM event was pretty damn cool.
