Hi from the Gulf south east!
Are you mostly interested in VHF/UHF, or are you steering toward a General & HF upgrade next?
I'm definitely interested in general, and possibly extra eventually. I like learning and I have a bunch of local clubs to choose from, lucky that way. I have been reading the manual, and now I'm about a third of the way through. It's a bit like drinking from the fire hose, isn't it. I'm also a homeschool mom, and this week was a bit hairy, so I slowed down. I'd like to hit halfway through the manual this weekend and get started on the website AD recommended sometime the last week of January. My first club meeting is that last week of January, so I'd like to not make a bad first impression. I tend to be a bit quiet with strangers, so they often become fooled into believing I know something. So, if I don't answer a question right away, please remember I take longer to process than most. And if I don't understand it's a question aimed at me, sometimes I won't answer. Just prod me.
