Tripthi, K7TPT
I live in Portland, Oregon. I’m 13 years old. I started ham radio with a Technician license in August 2020. I got my General in August 2021.
K7KVT was the person who got me interested in ham radio, and helped me get my license.
I use an Anytone 878 radio and I recently built a hotspot using a Raspberry Pi Zero.
My interests other than ham radio are:
- Reading
- Chemistry
- Fixing things that are broken
- Biking
- Sushi 🙂
- Baking
