I got my ticket in 1989. My son got his last year.
Congrats. It's a great hobby. I even made a career out of the microwave part of the spectrum.I got my tech about 9 yrs ago
I'm kind of in the same boat. Moved a few years ago and haven't set up my station at home. I have a mobile station that works all bands up to 440 MHz. Also some HTs. 73 DE N9HTZ.Wow! You did great! Never learned code, but I appreciate it. Husband has his general. KF5LEF and I'm KF5LEG. (we tested together that day). We moved a few years back to our farm and he hasn't set up his big stations since moving. We have an outbuilding with a ridiculous amount of antenna and radios in it. One of these days when he's feeling better. Just use the handitalkies on occasion now.
I've known a few engineers that retired into farming.welcome from another grumpy old engineer LOL
( I am now a farmer, former engineer)
My brother does the ham radio thing , if you want to chat with someone in France I can ask him what his id or number or whatever you go by is. His English is decent
