I changed my callsign to NH6AK. took the fcc a month to update it.
P.S. Shouldn't every USA FPV'er be a ham?
I found there is a guy that lives in my complex that teaches classes for HAM to local kids. He has offered to let me join and suggested I get the UV5R radio to learn as well as go along with his class as he teaches. I picked up a UV5R-2 on Amazon for under 30 dollars. It seems to be a solid radio. I already have local emergency bands programmed and use it as a scanner until I can meet up with the guy again. Sadly his health is not so good and he is in and out of the hospital a lot. I believe the next local test here is in April and I will take both the Tech and general test as well.
From what I understand you pay to take one test for me the technician and if you pass you are allowed to take the next level test for free from what I hear if done the same day.
AF5II here. Anyone put APRS on their planes yet?
