I also have a license, though I have not been active in several years. My father was a ham, and after he passed, I got his call sign. I will probably do it again at some point, but life and other things have interfered.

I used to wish I could power the radio from a battery and recharge the battery from solar panels so that I was not dependent on the power grid. I can easily do that now, but I just haven't gotten back to it.
