[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 4223787, member: 24583"] Most of us started out that way, listening to scanners or real radios. For me I was interested in listening to the weather watches and storm chasers in the Tulsa area on UHF. One day the thought hit me, hell, I can do that. That was my start and motivation to get my Technician license. Then I ran across an older inexpensive HF radio, strung up an antenna and started listening to the world. Hardest time in my radio life, listening to HF at 2AM to a special station set up at the North Pole calling CQ (Any body) reply back. His signal was Chrystal clear and for 10 minutes only one sstation answered him from Texas. Yep microphone laying there by the radio. It was an older radio that would not listen without the mic plugged in, but I did not have the license class to talk on that frequency. Gerrrrr. I upgraded shortly after that. Just be careful of the PTT key on the side and you will be ok. [/QUOTE]
