Congrats. What are you using for radio/antenna? Jack W1FKG.
Did you take the test online or in person? Studying for the tech.
Online took me twice. What are you using to study? I used Ham study app which was great! I also used the following book Amazon product ASIN 1625950829View: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1625950829/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_imm_dl_ZR3JS5VBD5794DS93Q9M?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I am using the Ham Study App and the AARL study guide you linked to suppement. I have an Anytone 878UV Plus w/ a Nagoya 771 antenna that I have solely been monitoring with to get an idea of the repeaters around me. Once I pass the test, and my call sign shows up in the FCC registry, I will be eager to get on the air.

Congrats on the ticket. Study up for the general, and you'll love 30m. ![[cheers]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/018.gif "Cheers [cheers]")
I have a FTM-400 in my go-box.......great radio.
KC1PFP is live on QRZ.com, so that's a great place to get started. Good luck !

This is actually the last few hours on 30m (quieter than normal because of Henri - but still lots of action):

I got mine a few years back but honestly still don't have a clue on what I am doing yet lol.
I got myself a little BaoFeng handheld, really need to do some more research and get a setup going.

I just looked you up, I grew up around the corner from you on Stimson!
Have you programmed it yet? Check out this YouTube video for how to setup.

Congrats on your Tech! I was looking at the FTM-400XDR myself for the car. How do you like it?
I got my General just before Covid and then had a sudden hearing loss a few months later which made it tough to listen to the radio for quite a while, so I have lapsed a bit and haven't keyed up in a while, but hope to get back into it! I haven't even aquired an HF rig yet so need to get going on that as well.
