    Congrats Sean! I am part way through a ham book but time is limited right now. I'll get that license eventually.

    You're doing well if you're getting 4 miles with a CB; my range is more like 1/8th mile. With the ham I can hear much farther.

    Congratulations!

    I need to get off my butt and practice for and take the technician test so that I can talk to Ken and Mike on the trail once they are both on ham radios. Anybody in the Bay Area interested in joining up for a couple study sessions?

    For fun I just took an online practice exam and surprisingly I passed (27/35). The electrical engineering questions are no problem, but I have to read up on the parts related to FCC rules and specifics about radio usage.

    Anyway, congrats again.

    Matt, I've had my ticket for a couple years now. Ken doesn't but he's got a radio installed. Find an exam and just show up. Your chances of passing are high and afterwards you have plenty of time to learn the other stuff.

    Seriously, read through the guide I posted right before your test, and you will pass. The tech test is VERY easy!

    I finally ripped the CB radio out of my dash and installed something that will reach more than 1/8 mile. After I get my license, that is.



    Wedding planning is killing my available time.

    Congrats on the license Sean.

    Awesome!

    I will eventually move mine, but it will have to stay for the time being. I haven't used it much, just to listen to traffic. I've been busy with another project.

    Does it involve 3d printing? You still have me interested in that too. You also sound like you have too many projects like I do.

    Sadly no. It involves a cantankerous German.
