I Am Now Known As KD8KEE

After I landed in Cleveland from a 3+ hour flight from Phoenix, I was checking the internet and saw that my new FCC call sign had been posted: KD8KEE. It posted while I was in the air.

It's official - I'm now allowed to broadcast on some of the amateur bands.

When I got home from the airport, I hooked up the new Yaesu VX-6R and monitored the local repeater a little bit to see how it all works. I get pretty good reception just using the little rubber duck antenna.

(As of two days later, I still haven't broadcast. I'm lame.)
