[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3749950, member: 24583"] While you are correct in some aspects, you might also think about the fact that we are a pretty close knit world wide family and many people would be surprised as to how many callsigns we know and voices we recognize across the Globe. Yes anyone can listen but we only talk or respond to who we choose. Mayes County Amateur Radio Club meets the last Friday of the month (Tomorrow) at the Pizza Hut in Pryor. 7PM actual meeting, but most of us show up about 6 for pizza and shooting the bull. You would be very welcome to join us. Claremore has the Rogers County Wireless Association, meets monthly, but I think this months meeting will be Sat. morning at hamfest. There are many ways to study, three classes of licenses you have to take in succession at what ever speed you choose. Each class of license gives you more operating priviliges, friequencies and bands you can operate on from the local area to around the world and there are several digital modes also, many internet dependent. I have suggested to do a google search for "hamtestonline.com" to 30-40 people over the past 10-15 years. Study programs are usually about $20-25 each. Not a single one has failed passing a test the first time. Right now there is a $15 fee for taking a test. I understand that is going to $35 in the next few months, not sure. Again you (or anyone interested in ham radio) are welcome to PM me and we could phone connect to talk more if you would like. Ken [/QUOTE]
