I want to get into amateur radio for use in CERT and a prerequisite to get into the Oregon State defence force. Anyone willing to take me under thier wing? I want to get my pickup set up eventually.
Thanks

Re: ham radio
I'm working on the same goal too...
There is a ham radio operator test later this month here in Grants Pass. I think it's Feb 22nd.
I picked up a copy of the manual that includes a CD with sample test questions etc.
I've had the manual for a couple of months now, but its time to crack it open! (My brother and a couple of my friends are already hams, so I figure I have a pretty good support group if I have any problems learning everything
I'll get more details about the exam and post them up...
I'm planning on installing a ham radio in the hmmwv for a mobile emergency communications hub.
