How many hams on the Worldwide Radio Forum?

Technician

Technician here. I have experience only in 11 meters (for 30 years). I would like to start exploring my options for getting into 2 or 6 meter. I would like to get a nice mobile or base to start off with.
 
Started As a CBer

Started as a CBer and went into Ham radio.

Presently an Extra and also hold a FCC 1st Class Radiotelephone license. The code held me back for awhile, but after trying it wasn't that hard to learn.

Ham scene is ok, it would be better if we could remember to lighten up and have fun, it is a HOBBY!!!! Although my above post doesnt say this, verbatim, figure it out. Its good practice. :twisted:
 
Licensed since 1980...Advanced in '81...Extra in '89, primarily so I could get access to the lower 25KHz of each of the HF bands. (I build a lot of my gear and at the time I upgraded it was easier to find clear frequencies in the Extra CW subbands than in the Novice/General segments...definitely helpful when one is running QRP!)

Aside from amateur radio I'm actively involved in SWLing, scanning...CB/FRS/GMRS...anything to do with RF.

Also restore 'vintage' ham and CB gear - mainly, equipment from the early 70's through the late 80's.
