I had a great time at the W4V #summitsontheair workshop, followed by a fun activation of Hogback. It’s only a short walk from the road so I brought my big iron Elecraft K3 and furniture. The high bands were hopping!

I’ve restarted my build of the Norcal 40A CW transceiver for 40 meters. A while ago I ordered PCBs based on a Gerber file that was shared my a builder group. Using lots of old out-of-production parts that I sourced earlier (check out the air variable trimmer in the bottom right). #amateurradio

Practice tests are a great way to see how ready you are. I’d study a bit on your own and see how close that gets you before committing to a class.
