Hi, my name is Kurtis. I am a federal worker, and I'm having a bad time.

This is cool, thanks for sharing!

It's wild how you can build a whole relationship with someone around an idea, but you can have totally opposite understandings of what that idea means.

This book made me fall in love with my own creativity.

YouTube video by Ham Radio Crash Course Ham Radio Technician Prep Intro (2022-2026)

Check out this video for a little intro. The playlist is a great study resource.

You can also check out my pinned post for some DIY resources that save a ton of money. And yes! Getting to know your local club is a great start.
