Decided to start studying up to get a Tech license.
Buddy at work just got one and there is also another fella that has had his license (higher grade) for eons.
They have both been very helpful. I really wouldn't have considered it but I recently got a PSR 500 and am able to receive ham and other traffic lots better. there is a local net that has a check in every sunday night and I listened in, ontop of other transmissions on other days. Figured I would give it a try, like I said sounds interesting now that I have actually listene in, i used to think it would be boring.
YouTube vids of guys talking thru satellites look exciting and the prospect of contacting others long distances from home is enticing.
My buddy lent me a ARRL license manual for studying and I've been reading all I can online.
Just had to post about it to help keep the motivation up.
