Hey, uhh I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm just a lowly undergrad Freshman studying physics. I grew up around it, my dad was real into ham radios and knew a lot about RF and electronics and all that jazz. He introduced me to radios and electronics (as well as constantly showing me videos about the big bang and black holes and all the cool stuff I want to study...he introduced me to Carl Sagan). I loved that stuff, and constantly thought about it as a kid. I got my ham license at age 9. As I got into my teenage years, I kind of got away from that stuff, but I had a fantastic math teacher junior year who got me into math, but I think physics is just applied math so I'm going down that path. I feel more accomplished when I do physics...it's much more realistic than "find x".

I don't know if this is the section to post this kinda thing, but hi!
