One of the best parts of Dayton is getting to meet students like Chuck (KE2GNP) in person.

In this quick interview, Chuck shares how mobile study tools, video lessons, and practice quizzes helped him level up fast — and get on HF sooner than he expected.
Now he’s building stations, making contacts, and already aiming for Amateur Extra 🔥
