As of yesterday morning, I'm a licensed ham radio operator. I passed both Technician and General class exams - and my wife passed Technician! We don't have our callsigns yet, as it takes a few days for the FCC to get it into their database, but it shouldn't be long.

I'm pretty excited - I've been interested in amateur radio for over 20 years, and indeed operated a little, let's say, outside the law, back in California in the early 90's. And now, I'm fully and legally licensed. :) Should be an exciting adventure.

BTW - if you're thinking of becoming licensed yourself, I can highly recommend HamTestOnline and the ARRL's study books. We used both of these resources in studying for our licenses and both are excellent!
