The easiest way is probably to use Comic Life, the program that I used to create the comic book. Unfortunately it really only works well on the Mac. The comic life files for the comic are available on the original page at: http://mightyohm.com/soldercomic

It is indeed a MightyOhm Geiger counter kit – thanks

I got my call in 1984 and was happy as a clam when I got KA3OUT. I said great a radio word in my call. I was pretty happy for all those years. My local club runs a 10 meter contest in January where if you work a station with a word in the call you get a bonus of 10 points. Well this worked for many years. Then I got the bug to upgrade to Teck and Advanced. Well I kept getting notices from monitors telling me I was working out of band since I had a 2X3 novice call and should go back where I belong. After several of these I learned to just ignore them, they would find out eventually that I had the advanced class license. Well as time marches on I finally upgraded to Extra about a year or so ago. I started hunting for a new call. I looked for something like KA3AK or KT3TK the same going or coming. Well I eventually settled on K3AK ( Anthony Kobylski ) after some pressure from my friends. I knkow what you mean since I had the other call for 24 years it took a lot to let go. sometimes if I am not thinking real clearly I will pick up the mike in the car and say KA3OUT listening on 7.285. Just as the words rolled off the tounge I realized what I said. Oh well I guess I will get over that too one day. Good choice on your part for the OHM suffix. That makes for a really neat call also. Good luck with it and I will be looking for you on the air.

73 and good DX,

I’ve had the same call since 1976: WD8CIV. I was briefly WN8CIV because the FCC used to issue Novices callsigns with an ‘N’ in the prefix, but they stopped doing that and gave me a call from the regular pool about three months after I got my license. (That was around the same time Novice licenses became renewable. Before that you had a year or two to upgrade or else it expired.)

For learning Morse, five or ten minutes a day seems to help it stick better than longer, less frequent sessions. It’s kind of like building muscle memory. You’re developing pathways that fade with disuse, so a quick refresh daily is more effective than relearning it (sort of) once or twice a week.

I watched the http://www.ae7q.com website for what was the last call sign assigned in my call region. I actually timed my VE session for my call sign to be available next to be issued before testing. I was trying for something with a lower “morse weight” and easier phonetics.

FWIW, I was originally licensed my freshman year of college (19 at the time) in 1996. I upgraded to Extra and received my new call April of 2010.
