Ham Radio

[AmateurKiltsmen]

Has anyone else here got an interest in amateur radio or just SWL/Scanning for that matter? I got my first licence back in 2022 and i recently passed my test for the next level up so i'm waiting for the cert, my current radio is the Quansheng UV-K6 but mine handles more like a claymore because it has the crazy 18.5" "tactical" antenna on it, it's not a bad radio with custom firmware.

I've also got the old FT-60, a nice HF rig too but no HF antenna up at the moment, but it should be soon, that's a G5RV full size.

I also got an RSP1A SDR which i use a lot, super easy to make massive scan banks and leave it scanning in the background.

My callsign has a K in it so i always have the urge to use Kilt instead of Kilo as the phonetic, but that's bad op practice and too many ops are using non-standard phonetics as it is.

If you haven't got an interest in Ham radio, then feel free to ask me anything, i'll try to answer, and no if you're licenced you don't need to share your call if you don't want to.
