All,
I have a Galaxy dx-94hp laying around and a cheap magnetic mount antenna.
I was/am trying to get back into CB, but it’s proving incredibly difficult as most people have left the medium in my area.
What difference could I expect with a technician license and a radio/antenna setup as described above? Hear a lot of people? Talk to a lot of people? I guess, is it better than CB at this point?
I’m aware it’s an incredibly vague question, but one I’m asking at this point. I understand ham numbers have been under pressure as well over the past 20 years. I guess you can do classes online now via video conference. Which is incredible. Maybe I’ll just get my license anyway.
Long story longer, any thoughts on everything would be appreciated.
P.S. I live in an apartment so antenna options are limited as is power. I don’t want my voice coming out of my neighbors TV speakers.
