Technically, my goal for this year’s #defcon was to take the ham technician exam. Technically, I have achieved that goal.

Update: I passed my #defcon ham tech exam on my second attempt. Dope.

Apparently this lets me bounce stuff off the moon. Which is kinda all I want to do now.

@todb@infosec.exchange - congrats! If you'd be content to bounce radio signals off the ionosphere for awhile, and communicate with operators in places like Mongolia, Bangladesh, and Tuvalu.. consider checking out FT8 and other "weak signal" modes. ~$65 worth of equipment can get you pretty far!
