Congrats on getting your ticket. Keep studying and one day your scores will flip and you will be on your way to a whole new world in ham radio.
Thanks man. Was just showing some empathy there... didn't mean to put a sad face on the topic. Really glad you are giving it a go again. Like I said, it's a lot of fun, even when the bands aren't cooperating, there is someplace to go and talk.

Kudos on the new ticket. I have been a HAM since '98 but only a tech, no code. Really need to study for General.... Ha... been saying that for 15 yrs! LOL
.... I would love to get my ticket but im just not sure I could pass the test..
Take the test anyway, worst case scenario is you don't pass and you'll be no worse off than you are now. Might as well give it a shot.

Passed my General today!
I used Dan Romanchik's No-Nonsense Study Guides (available on Amazon) and the flash cards and practice tests at HamStudy.org. That combination worked great for this sixty-five-year-old brain.
Just downloaded his study guide for the Amateur Extra Class. Let the studying begin. Again.

Wife and I have been thinking about moving for a while now. Doing so would allow me to do just what you suggested. In the meantime, I have 6 and 10 meter dipoles in the attic, and for the lower frequencies I have a Buddistick for use in the backyard.
Just noticed you are a brand new member. Welcome!!!

Thanks Riverman, it's nice to hear that you are quite flexible with your existing antennas.
