Thanks for mentioning that! I have no experience with this console but a friend already recommended me looking into the Switch. Need to confirm that what you say also applies to Minecraft on the Switch and then I would do the...well...switch.

This site is updated whenever I've completed playing a new WAD to add it to the list at the bottom. I'm a casual player, want to see enough ammo in the levels and like to have a moderate difficulty. If you feel the same, the list might be also for you.
One reason is that every project is worth starting and finishing when you blog as it will result in something useful - no matter if it is a fail or not.
* I decided that I want to get the beginner license first, then do a second exam for the big license
* bought some books for exam preparation
* bought a cheap 30€ handheld radio to listen to local repeater traffic while studying
* downloaded an exam preparation training tool
* worked through the material halfway through
* have registered for an exam
* stood up every morning at 5 and learned 2h before the family woke up for two months
* did the exam, got the beginner license
* studied another two months
* got the big license
* met other amateur radio operators a year after that ;)
Here are some links:
* this is the site of your country's club: https://rsgb.org/main/clubs/club-finder/
* the amateur radio subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/
There is so much more to write and I don't know where to start, but here are some fun facts:
* you don't have to learn morse code anymore for the license in most countries
* for local communicaiton, a budget of 30-100€ is sufficient
* for world wide shortwave communication, a budget of 400 to 700 can be sufficient when buying used
* you can do digi modes (computer to computer communication) instead of talking to people. This helped me the first year to get into it since i was mic shy.
* the community is awesome, people share their knowledge and help each other
* you can buy a digital handheld radio for around 200€ and work the world without any antennas over the internet. For some not the real thing, for others a blast.
I amazes me evertime over and over again to have a conversation with someone living 10000km away from me without having to rely on other peoples/companies infrastructure. Especially when you are able to power your station with solar energy.
I've picked up this hobby with 40 and the only thing I regret is not having it picked up earlier. Also a great hobby for parents since you can operate from home at night times when everybody else is asleep.
I want to play with the radio, not with the tool that should help me with that.
My software simply does the following in the order I want it to do:
* asks me for a call sign
* shows info about the call sign gathered from a API
* shows previous contacts with this station
* asks for date, time, band, report, comment and prefills what it can
* submits this information via an API to an online logbook service
