I WAS LICENSED IN 2007, UPGRADED TO GENERAL IN 2009. I'VE BEEN PLAYING WITH APRS, WINLINK, ECHOLINK, AND SATELLITE FOR A WHILE AND NOW I'M EXCITED ABOUT CODEC2 AND ASTERISK APP_RPT.

I MADE MY FIRST HF CONTACT ON FIELD DAY 2010 WITH W9DUP ON 20M TO VIRGINIA. I'VE BEEN LUSTING AFTER AN FT-817ND EVER SINCE.
