Well, I am excited about the tailgate sale that I am going to tomorrow. Hopefully, I will be able to get some things to get my handheld DJV-5 going?
I am curious how many Hams are on this site. My husband and I are Hams. My call is Kd5cqq and his is N5VAB. Looking forward to hearing from any of you.

I do have my amatuer and advanced radio licence but I don't pratice. I got my amature in Newfoundland when I was going out with my boyfriend who was really into HAM. radio. He spent 6 months in the Golan Heights operating the Amature radio center so the peace keepers could talk back home. When I moved to Ontario my new job was a radio inspector. I had to adminster exams to the amatuer radio operators, so I had to pass my exam to be able to test them. That was harder than the first. I don't give exams anymore because it is taken care of a call center out of Ottawa now. Have fun tomorrow and I hope you find lots of good sales.

That sounds very interesting. Do you ever get on EchoLink where you can talk around the world? It is through a computer and pretty neat. My husband does it a lot. I have not really gotten into yet, but I am thinking about it. We do talk to people that are in Ontario. I am an Extra. Did you know that they have dropped the morse code requirements to get your license now?

I'm a UK based radio amateur, and my main interests are QRP HF and circuit design and development. I also like to wallop the old straight morse key!!
I don't get on the air as much as I used to - mainly due to my professional responsibilities and other hobbies, but I'll get in some listening most weeks, even if I don't transmit.
In terms of bands I use - 20m, 15m, 10m and 2m with an occasional foray on to 160m and 80m. Except on 2m, my transmitters are homebrew and my receivers either homebrew or a VERY ancient Yaesu. I'm very loathe to spend money. :-)

My Dad used to be a Ham but let his expire He kicks himself every once in awhile about it But my Cousin Is One KA2NJI In southern New Jersey and he is about to go for Extra Class. I play around on 11Meters alot and talk around the world but wanna be a Ham.
