Good afternoon. I am new to having an active account but have been reading the site off and on for several weeks. I have also been doing quite a bit of study on the Internet. However there is so much info out there I am getting a bit overwhelmed.
For awareness and preparedness (and enjoyment of course), I would like to get a ham radio set up for my son and I. We would’ve beginners; but I would like it to grow with us for awhile, so to speak.
Not sure what other type of information would help. We live in Austin, Texas. Could possibly be moving in the next few years it most likely will remain in Central Texas area.
I will be looking into getting the license; as well as looking up my local ham club (I sincerely hope there is one—most likely is, Austin isn’t small anymore)
Also—I am also looking into getting a new police scanner. Dumb question: do I need both? I’ve seen various opinions on these boards. Sort of confused.
Thank you in advance— and please ask questions if this would help.
