I have had my technician license for 20+ years but somehow still feel quite new at the hobby. Just recently (01.05.2019) passed my General license and I’m very interested in digital modes on HF. Since the information was fresh in my head and I figured there would be overlap, I tested for my Extra 30 days later and passed on 02.02.2019. My next goal is to learn morse code and try to do some QRP while out backpacking in the California wilderness.
