One of my friends, W6PNG, is a U.S. Extra class operator and has become a frequent SOTA activator. He's started a new journey by passing the first of three license class exams in the United Kingdom. His blog post has some interesting observations about how prospective amateurs are welcomed to the hobby. He asks an interesting question about new U.S. licensees. Where are they? Food for thought as we discuss the lifelong learning initiative and entry level license. 73, Matt Holden KØBBC Director, Dakota Division, American Radio Relay League https://w6png.wordpress.com/2018/04/03/foundation-start- of-a-journey-through-a-different-trilogy/
