            Congrats to the recently licensed and the recently upgraded. As a general class amateur I always enjoy seeing and hearing others become engaged in the hobby.

            Once licensed, there are a number of ways that you can become involved with others such as volunteering at events and becoming a disaster volunteer. If you are interested in either, send me a PM and I will get you in touch with someone that can get you involved.

            As for the Beofeng, I have had the UV-5R+ for about 6 months now and find it to be a great radio. In fact it has replaced my Yeasu VX-5R on my pack as my go-to radio. If you have one, I highly recommend purchasing the programming cable, as it makes working with it 1,000 times better.

                The Baofeng is a great little radio. You will enjoy it.

                      Yesterday I was able to hit a repeater in Lodi and listen in on people from sacramento. I also ordered a yeasu ft-2900 that I'm going to make a base station out of it

                        Called this morning and was told they haven't received anything for that testing day. Pete at the arrl said this is not normal, and to contact the ve's. I tried getting a hold of David who does the testing but haven't heard back from him.

                              Tracy here! Anyone who can help me get my Ham license again? It expired beyond the recovery period and I have to retest! bummer.

                              If the US 1st amendment were treated like the 2nd amendment by US politicians, we will need a license to speak in public, need a background check to buy a book, and can only buy one every 30 days. They say the pen is mightier than the sword, yet the sword is the most regulated part of the constitution.

                                This Baofeng UV-5R is $29.00??? Is this price correct? I've been gone awhile but I don't think I was gone THAT long for handhelds to be this cheap. I know it looks like a Chinese brand. Probably won't compare with the Yaesu's, Icoms and Kenwoods of the world... but dang!
