After reading this forum a month ago, I was motivated and figured it was time to get my Ham license. I took the test Saturday morning and found my call sign in the FCC database this afternoon. 2 days - that is fast!
I used the Gordon West Technician study guide and the audio CD's. For anyone who is not aware, all the questions and answers to the exam are published. So, if you study, there will not be any surprises.
I bought a Yaesu VX-8DR a couple of weeks ago, so I have been listening the local repeaters and the Nets. Tonight, I finally got to use the radio for transmitting. It was great! I really like the radio and I was fortunate to have a 'first contact' with a group of really nice guys that made me feel very welcome.
