Hello All,
I came across a old thread about 4 years ago about classes from Nashua Area Radio Society. I signed up and took their Technician class this weekend, passed and now just waiting for my ticket. I didn't expect the pass the General test but I took it anyways. I got 19/35. "The longest 10 days..." Still way shorter than waiting for any NFA item.
They have a General and Extra class that I will be planning to take as well.
I wanted to be able to chat during my daily commute from NH to MA. I have an IT background and didn't know you could hook up radio to computers and get contacts around the world. That would be the something I like to do down the road.
At this time, I am trying to figure out the best rig for my truck - 2014 GMC Sierra 3500HD that I can use during my commute.
Currently looking at the ICOM-2730A, Firestik 2M-4. Not sure how I am going to mount the radio or antenna yet.
Any suggestions or recommendations would be great!
