Tri-Cities HAM Testing

[PNW EXPLR]

Just wanted to inform you all of the January 19 testing for HAM radio. I know there was some interest in the area. And there is just enough time to start a 6 day cram session.
If anybody is interested I am willing to forward the daily study plan and links to the reading material.

That’s great news. Congratulations. Where there any other KPR members there? I am stoked for you. Any rigs you have been looking at?

It was just me from OB. I have a Baofeng F8hp. Ordered a mobile mag antenna for it for now

 

[PNW EXPLR]

Did you do it?

Yeah. Passed the Technician and General. Took a swing at the Extra but struck out.

I got to mess around with the settings on a little handheld unit yesterday. I don’t remember the model, but it seamed like a good little radio from what Tyson was showing me.

I have my eye on YAESU FTM-100DR if I have to go new. I would really prefer to go used though.

I have a Baofeng UV-5R handheld. I have been using it for gmrs so far, but would like to use it for ham. Just need the license.

I will be out of town for the 1/28 one. Looks like I will have to do the March one in Kennewick

Give me a date and I can get you tested here... I need about a week notice.

Thats not a bad thing necessarily. That gives you time to study for the General and the Extra. Just another day at the office for you.

Looks like 1/28 is cancelled. Still can contact me to set up a test date though

Thanks Mike, I will let you know!

@PNW EXPLR , do you still have study material for the Ham tests? I don't know that I'll get around to taking the test anytime soon but while we're sitting at home I might as well do some reading. I really haven't looked into anything Ham related up to this point so does anyone have any thoughts on a decent entry level unit? I'm not picky about it being handheld or fixed as long as it's a good bang for your buck setup.

 

[JL Lou]

I have a couple of books if you want them

Send me your email and I will send what I used.
