I'm studying for my extra now got my general last weekend thought why not.So, after passing the tech exam 2 weeks ago, I decided to jump on the general while my head was fresh from learning for the tech. I ended up deciding to go for the extra too. 2 weeks of studying, I passed both the general and extra today.
And I still don't own a radio
Probably need to get on that one of these days.
Forgot to say congratulations and don't feel bad I don't have a hf radio yet neither
Once we both get a hf set we'll have to make contact. I'm on two meter 146.52 simplex or 147.320
In theory, but you've got the creds now so it's all good!So, after passing the tech exam 2 weeks ago, I decided to jump on the general while my head was fresh from learning for the tech. I ended up deciding to go for the extra too. 2 weeks of studying, I passed both the general and extra today.

Wouldn't put too much faith in declared laws of your state, and I question the sanity of Demoratic leadership. A number or reports state that more are leaving than are coming into Calif. and sounds like you may have a few wealthy, a huge number of poor with the middle class absent. After your Governor refuses to send troops to guard the border, and asks for additional money for a high speed train that went belly up twice and goes no where, after money was sent to finish, he tells the President to stuff it, the train is not going to be finished, and the money is being kept. May be wrong but only someone with a loose screw would then ask for FEMA money for wildfires after that. Answer, you better learn to manage your forests. By the way, the State of Calif. does not control the radio air waves, the FCC does. F as in Federal. The only down side I could see is perhaps a tariff on radios made in China and prices going up, or maybe they will not sell to USA. A popular radio with all the bells and whistles is a fraction of what the made in Japan Motorola and Kenwood sell for, and do the same thing. I can tell you that during these wildfires California and Oregon Officials can't get enough radio operators, and many of those reapeators like in or not from the south to the north west coast are reported to be privately owned, so I wonder just how the state plans on doing that? What authority because as far as I know only the Federal has that authority and is the license agency and controls radio regulations. Maybe California is a sovereign nation and the wall between Mexico and the US has to include California?
I have seriously been considering getting into this but, never was one to take tests very well. I have what they call test anxiety.
Thank you very much for the feedback and link! I have already been looking at radios just to, as you said, listen and get an idea.
