Actually, Phil and I have been in discussion since NWFest. We are very interested.

Is this so you can find another way to harass each other?

Technician here.

Been hoping to go to General, but no time. I also can't hit any repeaters from my house with my J Pole .

No, it's so we have a way of calling in a wrecker/medevac in the event someone rolls off a mountain.

Well I am not a real active member in the HAM community got my license for manly just talking to friends that had theirs but the radios are very handy on the trails, I stopped by and talked briefly with Phil about it tonight, and if nothing has changed their are all kinds of instructors willing to put on a class just like the one i got mine from, I am going to talk to my friend tomorrow he knows a few more people in the area that can refer someone over in the seattle, tacoma area, Ps Phil you can go online and take a practice test to see how much you have learned from the book.

Awesome. Good to hear someone wants to become a Ham. Which license is he going for?

Would love to go for General.

John, I've taken the exams online and have passed them numerous times. I need CW help, mostly.

They are great for emergencys but also with the extra power you have available to you on like 2meters and 50 watts vs 4 on a cb, It is great to get out to others if you have split into groups and one maybe on the other side of a hill or in a valley, and you can get a real nice radio for the price of a real nice cb such as a galaxy,

I just have my Tech and find it to be just about all i need for the uses i use it for, and would probably work for most, but if you got the stay power there is more to go for, for sure, John
