[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 1975488, member: 24583"] Ham Radio is a unique hobby for reliable emergency communications anywhere you have 12VDC available. Spend a few $ (cheaper than buying manuals) at hamtestonline.com (you can do some of it for free to ck it out) Everything you need is on that site to get you ready to take the tests. With his "flashcard" system, in about 10-15 hours study time you will be ready to pass your Technicians license test (Tech, General, and Extra are available) You will need a radio and antenna. Like everything, how fast do you want to go? $250-300 will get you on the air easily locally with a 2meter rig in a 50 mile or so radius. The general class and a $350-500 HF used radio and a minimal long wire antenna will get you most of the US and a few other countries at times. A better antenna system will get you world wide. Extra class gets you a few more frequencies to talk on and a little more status. PM me if you have additional questions. Tests are given every few weeks somewhere in the Tulsa area. WB5Y Ken [/QUOTE]
