I was thinking we should have a list of HAM's.
List your call sign Class of license
General location
your radio equipment more than 1 if you want
antenna
If you are part of any clubs or Org's
Example for me would be
Vanity granted W6XXX General PM for callsign
Bay Point, CA
Yaesu VX-8R with Diamond SRH320A antenna yaesu 7900 for the car, neat little radio with scanning *wide receive* capabilities
2x Yaesu FT-7900 in both vehicles Diamond mag mount antenna
Yaesu 857D HF all band rig
For those who do not wish to post your call sign, you can list what radio gear you have etc, and if you want people to talk to just say PM for call sign.
I am a Technician Ham Operator! passed my test tonight 7/17/09

I just placed an order for the new yaesu vx-8r and a diamond srh320a antenna since it has 22 reviews with a 4.9/5.0 score
