Got my license in 2000 when I was 12. Spent the next few years VHF/UHF only until I finally upgraded to General. I'm still General but got laid off from work so I'm considering spending some of my free time working on upgrading.

I'm into packet radio and CW mostly.

Awesome! I tested into Technician + General in one go, but in practice I've been working mostly in the VHF//UHF space. I had originally intended to get an Amateur Extra license, but until I really bump up against some restrictions I need to focus on just getting a basic setup.

Nice! For me, the main benefit to getting the extra is that I won't have to worry about where I can operate.
