Got my Technician Class... Finally

[AK #5]

Just waiting on the FCC to do their thing, and I'm good to go. As a reward to myself for passing, I got myself a nice little Quad-Band Yaesu VX-8DR Submersible VHF/UHF Amateur Radio Transceiver with all the bells and whistles. I have some studying to do but after the new year, I'll be going for my General Class. It will be nice to explore the bands and see what's doin'

If you have your call sign you can transmit as long as you stay within the technician level privileges. Check to see if your call letters are listed in the FCC data base. If it is you are good to go. Welcome to the world of ham radio.

Thanks

I took the test on Wednesday 11/26. Been checking periodically on the FCC site via FRN search, and nothing yet. I'm sure it takes a few days before they process the paperwork and issue a call sign.

Aren't you the guy from CB & Ham Radio- Blacklisted Buyers and Sellers on Facebook?

Looks like we have had an Amateur Operator outbreak. That's a good thing too.

KK4RHF SAID THAT.

You guys are lucky. Our test results take a lot of time and then we have to attach the results to an application for license.

Well, so far I have managed to connect to the local 2m repeater in my area. I have a lot to learn about UHF/VHF. The manual for this radio is almost a half inch thick, so I guess I'll be busy for awhile...lol
