Passed my tech exam the other day and am waiting for my call sign. I would have sat for the General as well, but I was in somewhat of a rush that evening (I had a free half hour and decided to sit for the tech exam).
Found this forum and started researching HTs.
My main interest is in back country communication and SAR work.
I also enjoy electronics as a hobby and it looks like amateur radio will fuel a lot of projects!
I'm thinking of going with a unit that has APRS capabilities since that would be useful in the back country and relates to one less device to carry.
Looking forward to getting on the air soon
