    Getting a new HT, I have a few questions.

    Good luck on your tech. I got mine 10 days ago and I am having a blast. I would just order it from HRO & be done with it. The only used I will buy is from a local club member. I went to my first Hamfest and HRO was there. I was going to buy the XR. The HRO manager and several hams were happy...

    I'm legal and own the worst call sign ever

    IF the vanity sign goes through, it will be the best $13.40 I have ever spent. Almost too good to be true. I filed online and payed with plastic. The transaction has not shown up yet. I have no clue how long it takes to hit the data base. I have a feeling it will take longer than the 2 days...

    I passed my test. I checked the FAQ and saw no option to add my call sign. I see a lot of people requesting here to change their username to their call sign. If this is the correct procedure please change my username to KJ4SZV If i need to do something else please let me know Thanks

    Thanks! does anyone have the exact link for the FCC so I can check my status mid week? The handbook just says go to the ARRL homepage & click on FCC Database, but, I don't see that link? I'm guessing ULS section on the FCC page?:headbang

    time to make the jump to HAM

    My first ham-fest, Concord, NC. I was overwhelmed. I met up with the 2 clubs near me before I bought a thing. I bought an antenna CSB-790A and a Tri-Mag mount before I even took the TECH exam. I had lunch, then took the exam. Missed 2 questions and was upset. I don't know how, but I had 2...

    One week to go rookie questions

    I got to speak with the president of one of the ham clubs near me today. Man, am I excited. We went over everything, and every question I had. I'm going to set in on their meeting Tuesday night and they will have a booth at the Charlotte Ham Fest. He said getting me help on installation was no...

    One week to go rookie questions

    an other thought, do most of the mobile units have a SWR meter installed? Not planning on buying one, i'm sure I can borrow one when I join a club.

    Log Software?

    I'm using Hamsphere while waiting on my license, and their has to be an easier way to record contact info than a text or word file, I hope? Is their any freeware out there? I'm going to need a good log book when I FINALLY get my rig finished and the license back. I tried google and found...
