Looks like theres no morse requirement anymore starting next month for upgraded licenses. In the past learning Morse was lazily keeping me from upgrading my license. Now that I don’t have to worry about it, maybe ill upgrade and pick the hobby back up. ARRLWeb: It’s Official! Morse Code Requirement Ends Friday, February 23 NEWINGTON, CT, Jan 24, 2007 — Circle Friday, February 23, on your calendar. That’s when the current 5 WPM Morse code requirement will officially disappear from the Amateur Radio Service Part 97 rules in accordance with the FCC’s Report and Order (R&O) in the “Morse code proceeding,” WT Docket 05-235.

Got a lot of shopping done this weekend. Only need to buy for my dad, my mom, Sammi’s dad, more stuff for Kylie, and more for Sammi. Had a wonderful Sunday with Kylie. We just hung out together, it was a lot of fun, she’s getting so big and so smart, its like hanging out with a good friend. I was a bit depressed leaving her on Sunday, but of course I get to see her again tonight.

Yes, another hobby is in the works.
