Who's going to the dalton hamfest? I'm going to be there. I'm gonna take the test to upgrade for my general.

Wish you good luck with the test, I am sure you'll do fine. I haven't decided to go yet. I normally just go to catch up with the local group of hams.

Thanks. Been taking lots of practice tests.

If you decide to go shoot me a pm before and we can meet up.

Have been researching communication ideas lately, and i'm interested to find out the basics of starting in Ham Radios. Just looking for a link or good starting point for my research. Most importantly start up prices, and how to start getting my licensing. Any Help would be appreciated.

I am in the same boat with you!

For those looking for info, there are lots of great videos on YouTube. Also, if you have a local radio club they can get you started right.

Once you learn a little you can take practice tests under the resources tab at qrz.com

I decided to go to Dalton Saturday and take my General and Extra tests. I started out with Novice license in 1958 and updated to Technician about 20 years ago. I don't know why I have waited so long to upgrade as I have taught classes to prospective hams for many years and know the material.

Just got back from Dalton a few hours ago. Passed my General exam no problem, now to get some HF contacts under my belt and start studying for Extra.
