Maybe if the FCC catches up to the rest of the civilized world and the code goes away I might try some HF. Already passed the General written test once but couldnt get through the...

    How many of us are licensed?

    How many are licensed Amateur operators? In 1998 my two sons and I each received our Tech license's on the same day. And now when the FCC catches up to the rest of the civilized world and drops "the code" I may give HF a try. I like CB better than HF. More friendly people I...
