After you pay your dues with the practice exams, all you need is a place to sit for the exam; I think the going rate is still $14.00.<br />You're not required to join a radio club, the FCC is the grantor. You guys are in one very sweet spot, geographically, for some bodacious and righteous HAM operations.KE5MILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993005594802022728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-22174561574685373322009-06-12T10:16:23.634-05:002009-06-12T10:16:23.634-05:00John,

He was a photog for the houston chronicle for years and is a die-hard transplant. He's got a couple of books in the store there, Tales from the Porch, I think it's called. He has access to a pretty awesome, and private, quicksilver mine. Something tells me you'd make great friends. <br /><br />And, is "grub shack" the real name of the place you're getting your vittles?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-59723484515784199222009-06-12T09:43:18.026-05:002009-06-12T09:43:18.026-05:00KE5MIL - Please know that I am in no way John'...KE5MIL - Please know that I am in no way John's spokesperson, but I have had the opportunity to visit the Field Lab and John and I both talked about our interest in learning more about Ham Radios. So far we've gotten the names of a couple books to read to get our Tech. So it is certainly on the project list at the Field Lab. <br /><br />I myself have recently inherited an entire room full of Ham Radio equipment and I have no idea what 80% of these things do. So instead of getting rid of my Grandfathers gear, I figured I'd just learn how to use it. <br /><br />John please tell me if I'm stepping out of line by jumping right in on this ham radio question.Mr_Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151725239719879077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-43461936176557162242009-06-12T08:01:31.385-05:002009-06-12T08:01:31.385-05:00Congratulations on your cleaning and your find!

I recall using a vast repeater network on 2meters when I was down there last. Anyway, it could be a useful resource, especially as a communications back up. It also can be fairly entertaining and counterproductive as well. <br />With best regards from San Antonio, <br /><br />Cliff (KE5MIL)KE5MILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993005594802022728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-14245176786820776262009-06-12T06:11:13.647-05:002009-06-12T06:11:13.647-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.KE5MILhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14993005594802022728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-9188571917903349962009-06-12T06:00:58.037-05:002009-06-12T06:00:58.037-05:00Hello.
