&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Immediately got on the air after passing the exam&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Sorted out the FCC and new socials and logbooks and this site&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ordered an introductory radio to play with (Baofeng GT-5R)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ordered the &lt;em&gt;General Class License Manual&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Joined some mailing lists&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Joined some organizations: &lt;a href="https://www.phil-mont.org"&gt;PMRC&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="https://ylrl.net"&gt;YLRL&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="https://allianceamateur.org"&gt;AARN&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Attended an in-person meeting of Phil-Mont, the local club&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have some reasonably solid near-term hobby goals:&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
