I have begun studying and will eventually go for the tests. Tech and General first then off to extra. My thoughts are that its something I always wanted to do, safety while dry camping, and for emergency communications. We had two years will hurricanes that knocked out power and communications. Super Storm Sandy was a little scary as without power and gasoline shortages, it was starting to get a little nasty here on LI.
Well I ordered an inexpensive Baofung HT as my first radio and will start listening until I get my ticket. Then it will take a little time to figure out what radio to get. Something that would work will at the house, the car and the TT. Should I need to move it around.
What kind of antennaes do you guys use on your rigs?
Thanks
