Welcome to the list, Sina.
You will find a bunch of knowledgeable and very helpful people here.
Regarding HF, even though I'm mainly a CW op, you don't have to become
proficient with the code to enjoy the fun.
And, you can likely upgrade to the General class license with a bit of
studying, especially given your knowledge and proficiency already.
Just keep at it, and ask away as you get questions.
We are here to help.

Subject: Introduction From KM4KRR
Hi all,
I joined the list a few weeks back and have been enjoying the =
conversations and wonderful personality of everyone on here.
I got my license around 5 to 6 weeks ago. The call is KM4KRR and my name =
is Sina Bahram. I live in Cary, North Carolina.
About my gear and experience:
So far, I've explored channelized FM for the most part. I've got a = Kenwood
TK 762G and a Kenwood TK862G. a buddy programmed up repeaters on = both for
me, with simplex as well. I've also been playing with a baofang = uv5r, and
in addition to a slightly better antenna for it, I've = currently got it
hooked up to an antenna switch which feeds a diplexer = going to the two
kenwoods on A and the baofeng on B. there's just a = folded dipole in the
attic right now, but there's a comet gp3 right here = which I cannot wait to
try out. Then I can hopefully dedicate the folded = dipole to letting me
play with packet on 2m. I'm a bit of an audio geek, = so I have one of my
sends from the mixer routed to a box that my good = friend, Tadd (KA2DEW),
put together for me. the box lets me plug a music = keyboard's foot peddle
into it, and it has a quarter inch to feed from = the mixer and two
microphone cables coming out to feed the two kenwoods, = so I can put my
foot down when I wish to key up on either radio. There's = a switch on the
box for controlling which radio I want to speak to.
I would really love to start exploring hf as well, but I don't know = Morse
just yet so CW is out for me for now until I rectify that. I'm = also not
sure how I want to go about dipping my toe in the water for HF. = There are
so many options!
I'm excited about software defined radio, since that aligns super well =
with my development background, and I love the idea of combining my new =
passion for radio with my existing passion for code.
I'm looking forward to getting to know you fine folks better, and I = thank
you for the community and for having me on the list.
KM4KRR, clear
Take care,
Sina
