Just joined this site so I figured I would say hi. I got my technician and general license over a year ago and I have done absolutely zilch when it comes to ham radio since haha. I was laid off at the time and always wanted to get my ticket and since I had the time I figured why not. The only radio I have so far is a Yaesu VX-8DR and a beofeng Amazon cheapie dual band. As soon as money allows I hope to to get a HF rig to try to see how far across the world I can go.
I also am actively searching for a dual band mobile to put in my truck so I can use down time at work to hone my skills a little bit. I'm still learning about of ham radio because honestly I just studied to pass the test and didn't retain much of the knowledge. >:(
Very informative post. Thank you for that.

Don asked me to comment on some short wave radio earlier this month. Take a read back through this. Get a ha ndheld. You can transmit radio to radio (simplex) or hit a repeater and cover 10-20 miles or more. My simplex radio antenna in my pine tree hits my bro in law 40 miles away I simplex mode. Hitting a repeated can take you hundreds if not thousands of miles.
