It struck me tonight as I was driving to my Radio Club, that there might be some HAMs on here, what with all the DIYing and Electronics going on...

So, if you're a HAM, let me know!

I'm 2E0JMO by the way!

Any suggestions as to where a newb can begin? It sure looks interesting

KG6ENI, but I never use it (there's a story there, but it's a dull one...).

gsferrari, I recommend visiting a ham radio store...should be easy to strike up a conversation there as an interested newbie, and you can usually pick up some product literature and/or back issues of magazines to get a feel for the lay of the land. They will also have info on local clubs and meets and things like that. Ham Radio Outlet has stores dotted here and there about the country, and there are others as well. To get an idea of what you need to know to pass the license exam, pick up a copy of "Ride the Airwaves with Alfa and Zulu," which is written in baby-talk but IMO is pretty good if you can get past that.

Cool!

I "knew" I wasn't alone!

I echo what Episiarch said, go to a HAM Radio store and find out where your local club is... Go to a club meeting and see if you fancy it...

I enjoy the hobby, it can be pretty exciting, but I don't use the radio all the time, it's just another one of my hobbies!
