So, I took my Technician exam today and missed one question! Then, after I finished and was graded, one of the VEās asked me if I wanted to take the General exam, too, since it was free, and, who knows, you might even pass it, he said! Yeah, right!!! lol
I only scored a 50 on that exam, but, never having even looked at the material, it bodes well for me, with a bit of studying, right?

Hi everybody, Iām Katie! Iām wanting to get into amateur radio by way of tragedy. My fiance/boyfriend died suddenly last June. He was an elmer. & had an extra class + VE. I have just 1 radio of his; A Yaesu ft 2900, the hand mike (Yaesu) & an antennae. And a need to honor his memory by getting my technicianās (and more). At this time I have so much going against me to accomplish this goal. I have no idea how to set up this radio, and no one (physically)to help, and financeās (or lack of). I learned a lot just by listening to him and I am going to do it!

Sorry for your loss -
Sounds like your fiance was very involved in ham radio. Was he associated with a local club? If so, reach out to the club for the assistance required. Best wishes, Mark

Thank you Mark. Yes he was super involved. But no clubs that I know of. I think because he worked a lot as a commercial electrician. His goal was to get as many countries logged as well as in the USA. He made friends everywhere.

Well I currently donāt have a license I used to have a Tech license, my call sign was KC7AXS, but it expired a long time ago. I lived In Idaho for a while, and thatās where the KC7 comes from. I do have 2 different ham radios, they are Baofeng UV9R, and a UV10R. I tend to be partial towards the 2 m band, because up in Idaho we had a couple of auto patch repeaters to make phone calls of course. But there was a couple other stations out there that the ham radio operators like to talk on quite a bit and we had fun doing it

Hello Worldā¦
I too wondered what happened to the American Radio Club, guessing the Red Cross took issue more than the ARRL. With the restructuring of thr ARRL and new fee structures, I am seriously looking for a new national organization. I know it will take many years, but it is needed. Thr ARRL has become too ābusinessā for my taste.

This is NC1F, Matt, Wilmington, NC. Most of my logging is for POTA. I like the practice of running out somewhere, setting up an antenna and operating remotely. Typically running an FT-891 at 100 watts off a battery and through a coil/whip of some description. More information at NC1F - Callsign Lookup by QRZ Ham Radio . I will be very interested in seeing how this WRL develops over time. It sounds like a very interesting idea. Not much to add yet, just saying hello!
