My Aunt Anna has been dead for over 20 years now.

KB5JKS was my 1st call sign. Back when you had to do Morse code to get the novice.

I had an uncle who was a real prick and he was super into ham radio when I was a kid. Every time we had to go to his house we would fart on the microphone. It wasn’t on of course but we thought it was hilarious that his mouth would be so close to a place we farted.

I am, but only because attrition & his friend got me to do it. (They got my friend - his friend’s wife to do it too.) They all watched videos (yes, VHS tapes) and took the test. I didn’t do it with them though - didn’t plan on it then. Instead I caved to their peer pressure (lol) and spent 9 hours studying (including our road to trip Dallas) on the way to a ham convention. It was such a relief to pass the tests! Giving you my call sign wouldn’t help you - I’m never on the radio. All people typically talk about is ham radio stuff which isn’t really my thing. 😂

Well that’s good you got your ticket. One day it might come handy.

I used to be a pirate station operating mostly SSB in the HF bands. Occasionally 2M & 70CM.

It’s a restricted license for marine applications (pleasure boats mostly)

Oh yeah, I’m not sorry I did it. I think it’s cool to have. My grandfather had his too. I’ve tried to find his call sign but he died in 1985, so I haven’t had much luck.
They get purged after a while when not assigned.

I am! General class. Not telling my call sign because I don't want you crazy people to know where I live. I don't get on the air much these days, maybe a little FT8 just to be sure my antenna still works.

I’m guessing you live in Minnesota .... and I bet I can narrow it down to one of three cities/towns.

I wouldn’t be so sure on that. He has no gps plants and his oldest turd is in an ap. Seems like a mule being well built to me

You could pm me your call sign

True you will know the general area, my amateur radio license can be looked up for my actual street address, which I purposely did not put a turf on.
I don't know what gps plants in ap means, sorry. I'm not cheating if that's what you mean.

I will pm callsign to papa bear. I trust other hams. 😊
