On May 16, 2020 I passed both the Technician and General ham radio exams to become a licensed ham radio operator. This was not the first time I sat for a ham radio exam, but it was the first remote one I participated in due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Back in 2006 when I became licensed the first time before letting it expire. I took the Technician class exam down at the local Masonic lodge.
