Hi,
This is my first post here so please be gentle.
My comment to you is that you have no radio experience - hence you need all the help you can get.
If you are sincere about becoming a licensed amateur radio operator and not just a appliance operator - you need to get some books and do some reading and research and learn the things you need to know to be a good operator.
I hope that some forum members here will back me up on this one.
Just passing the tests and getting your license will never make you a ham radio operator.
Just look at QRZ.com and all the licenses that are left go every month and you will see that the luster of amateur quickly wears off - if you don't know what you are doing and if you do not have anyone to talk to.
Real Hams - tends to attract other hams.
CB'rs - tends to attract other CB'rs
Find a Gordon West or a ARRL Technician Class License Manual and read them from cover to cover.
The FCC Part 97 is another book to read - except you can find it online - free.
There is also operator manuals the ARRL offers which explains how radios works and how to properly install them.
The Technician Class License is just the gateway to amateur radio.
Its not designed to be a place to stay, but just a stepping stone.
Amateur radio is a lot of work and costs a lot of money.
If you cannot afford to invest the time to learn what you will need to learn - for a lifetime of a hobby - then I highly doubt if you are going to want to commit yourself to joining a club and learning more about amateur radio.
It is a very expensive hobby - both in time and in money.
this site is the one i like
