Moving from PAC NW to WY

[czgunner]

I just got my tech license last summer. We are now planning to move from SW Washinton state to Northern Wyoming. How is the Ham scene out there?

I understand the population is sparse overall. You will be more popular in contests now that's for sure. I have very few WY contacts

CZG: Many things depend on the next location, and your bands of interest.
Upgrades?

Get your general quickly or it my be very quiet.

WY is a sparsely populated state with few ham radio operators. You will be in a somewhat rare state.
Where are you going to be located in WY, or do you know yet?

I'm in Idaho. A bit rare but less so than Wyoming. You will be in the middle of a huge patch of "not much radio here land". I can do FT8 and look at my reception results on PSK reporter and I see a huge patch of no one being out there to receive signals.
