Just got mine too... Sent from my Nexus 6P using SatelliteGuys mobile app

That sounds like a good idea Brian. Now that I think about it, we had a large group of storms just to my west in Oklahoma, and I'm sure they were contributing to the noise. I had totally forgotten about Web SDR! I don't need to bug anyone to see if I can be heard, I'll just pull up the same...

Well, I'm sure the interference isn't helping. But my antenna situation is less than optimal as well. I am currently just using an end-fed long wire, with a manual antenna tuner. My rig is currently a fairly old IC-735. I decided to go with a cheap used rig for now, until I get my feet wet...

Yes -- it's not difficult! www.hamstudy.org is free. Just go through the flash cards until it says you have seen everything. As you miss questions it will give them to you again a few times until you have proven you can answer them correctly. Then find a local amateur radio club and take...

Thanks everyone.

Just wanted to share because I am so excited... decided on a whim late last week that I wanted to get an Amateur license. Went through the questions for Technician and General on hamstudy.org over the weekend and went in last night to our local club and passed the Technician and General exams...

Sorry to respond on such an old thread, but hello from Conway :)
