Anybody here a Ham?
« on: June 07, 2008, 09:58:56 PM »
I'm about to test for a Ham license and I need some practical information.  The technical stuff is easy as pie, but I need to get info on etiquette, accepted practices, frequency management  and the like.  I think there is a test coming up within a week or two and I am getting a couple of handhelds tomorrow morning.  (Oddly, as I was typing this, my Brother-in-law, who is dropping them off on the way to DC in the AM, just called me and said he is coming tomorrow morning.) 

How 'bout it.  Any "Elmers" in the saloon?

One of these days...

When you get your license, if you run across KC4GCK on air, tell him Mario said "Hi".

I've bookmarked his page.  Thanks!

Yeah, way back when he got his first license, I helped him set up his antenna.
