    Any interest in a new forum section...

    I will have my Amateur license the middle of February, test is scheduled for Technician and General. Been wondering about which hand-held to get. Thinking of a multi-band and of course want the biggest band for the buck. Looking forward to hearing your recommendations and the reason why.

    Egypt Internet/Media Services blocked 1/28
