Congrats! I never quite got that far, myself. A neighbor has a classic weighted dipole on a girder mast, (did they used to mass produce those things in sets?) and I guess a long line, but I've never actually met him so I don't know what else he might be interested in.

Yes, it is lot of fun and not so hard. I got all three amateur licenses in a week. If you are in USA, just use hamstudy.org- this is great for prepping for the exam.

Next project is to build this: uBitx v6. It is a decently priced HF radio for the DIY people.

I am learning morse code too, you can transmit long distances without using much power. The dark lord definitely should know morse code. A dark lord digital communication protocol is next in line!

Started with OSdev around 2020, but have been into ham radio since 2016 :) Got my local (Polish) calls SQ8VPS and SQ8L back then and the US call AD2BZ in 2021. What is your callsign?
