Bought a UV-5R a while back, not sure why. Programmed it for all my local PD / Fire / Repeaters to listen in on what’s going on, and it now lives on all the time and makes trips with me in the truck back and forth to work.
Got the Tech Exam study manual on Saturday from Amazon and thinking about going for the Tech exam in Lunenburg on Wednesday.
I doubt I’ll pass, as frankly I still barely have an idea of what I’m reading but at least I know what the test looks like.
The big thing I’m wondering is, WHY?!? I’m still really not sure why I want to or what I’m going to do if / when I pass. I’m 38, and don’t exactly feel like I fit in with what my perception of the HAM crowd is. I find some of the tech interesting and the idea of having a basic prepped type knowledge and rig setup attractive.
What the hell am I doing? Other than about to dive into yet another $10k hobby
