Day one, 25% completed. Appears we are done with the basics and are now getting on to the radio itself. While doing basic research, I noticed there are infinite combinations of gear and think I should just go with a basic unit (thinking 40w(UHF)/50w(VHF) dual band mobile/base unit) for home and a couple of Baofeng for travel. No point in looking at HF until I get this test in the bag, but think I should look into a decent antenna. What’s the consensus on attic units? Worth looking at?

Been studying and doing the quizzes but how and/or where do you go to take the actual test to get a callsign license?
