[QUOTE="tynyphil, post: 3750977, member: 44419"] Oh boy....here I go. About 50 years ago, freshman in high school, I got excited about ham radio. Took classes and got my Novice license ( back then only good for 1 year) borrowed equipment then had to move and returned the equipment. Only used morse code and really had fun with it. Now, 50 years later I decided it was unfinished business (and if SHTF it might be good to have) and found some online study help. Passed the Technician License (took in Tulsa) and then the passed the General test (took in Edmond). Spent about 2 grand on some fairly nice equipment......but here it is several years later I have yet to ever transmit. Just a little apprehensive if I have it all set up right. I listen occasionally and still like to find a slow morse code sender to test my skill but they are few and far between. They talk like mic-shyness is common but I have yet to get over it. Hate to broadcast/confirm my ignorance. [/QUOTE]
