Thanks for a great tool, I love this logbook and plan on using it for a Special Event station to be used for the centenary celebrations of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals in 2025

Thanks @N0APX! Iā€™m poking around with EchoLink currently, since I donā€™t have a full rig. All Iā€™ve got at the moment are a few Baofeng UV-5RA handhelds my buddy and I use when we caravan our RVs to stay in communication. Iā€™m definitely open to ideas and suggestions for equipment that wonā€™t break the bank and wonā€™t break as soon as I lay a finger on it :sweat_smile:

Yeah, Echolink is a great tool. Are you wanting a VHF/UHF or HF rig to start with?

Iā€™ve no idea, to be fair. Just starting out, not familiar with the equipment yet. And as yet, Iā€™ve got just the Technician license so I know Iā€™ve got some limits.

I totally understand! I personally started VHF/UHF operations with a technician license and a QYT KT8900D. Itā€™s a very cheap, 25-watt radio, but I used it for my mobile rig for a while. The menus can be a bit cumbersome, but I like the radio.

Hello everyone. Iā€™m new here and this is my 1st comment. I just got ā€œre-licensedā€ after I let it lapse about 10 yrs ago and gained my interest in the hobby again. Waiting to see what my new callsign will be. I want my old one back but I have to request it as a vanity call Iā€™m being told. I was a Tech Plus for a long time. I passed the Tech and the General exam this time and I am so excited to finally go where I have never gone before. :grin: I have my work cut out for me creating my Shack in the garage. I have a Alinco DJ-MD5XLT handheld and a Yaesu FT-991A on the way. I look to making contact with many of you --73 to you all

Thank you very much Andy. Most of my equipment arrives tomorrow so I will be familiarizing myself with the bells and whistles my station until my new call shows up in the ULS.

73,
