Congrats. I am absolutely dumb founded to see this much activity on a ham radio forum that is a sub forum of AR15!
Im a 20wpm extra but I started out as a codeless tech, so I came in the easy way. I'm excited to see this much activity. I'll have to look around.

Gun forum = folks with guns.
Some folks with guns do some prepping as a way of life.
Some folks that prep want emergency comms.
Hence a bunch of people on a very large gun forum that are HAMs.
That is why I got into it, a continuation of my prepping, well that and some of the people here that will go unnamed, but you know who you are. It also happened to correspond with a dramatic event in my life that is still ongoing but getting better, and HAM radio gives me the ability to concentrate on something else to focus on once in a while.
ETA: I can type about 10 words per minute, but can only hear one letter at a time. I am using dead time to keep learning morse. I started last week. The problem I have is recognizing letters fast enough and hearing when one letter stops and the next one starts. I know the alphabet, and sending is easy, but hearing it makes me struggle.
