HAM Operators- Post up here

[Blind_Io]

KG7IGY - Murray, UT. - Technician class. Currently I only have a small Chinese handheld dual-band with a mag mount. (Yes, I'm one of those guys with a Baofeng)

I also have not really gotten on the air, although I passed my test I don't yet feel comfortable transmitting. I kind of wish that there was more of a community here or that training would be more than just theory.

Congrats! Many of us have at least one of those!

Right now have just a simple Kenwood TM-281A 2M 65W in my truck.

Need to get an HT still

Also need to figure out a programming strategy. Flipping between CA and NV/AZ/UT the band plans have some big differences...
