Congrats. I am currently planning on taking at least my General upgrade exam
at Dayton. If I can find the time to cover both books, I'll try for the
Extra. Staci is hoping to take her
tech Lite.

That's great Glenda. I hope you can get both out of the way. Wish Staci luck
from me too. Are all of you going to Dayton this year? IF so, I hope to see
you there.

STeve, Staci, and I will be there. Damon doesn't like all the hub bub. I
think it may stem from the year he was 4 and got lost twice in less than an
hour. He was very independant even then and just would not stay right next
to us and used the old Mom thinks he is with Dad and Dad thinks he is with
Mom trick to go where HE wanted to go.

If I can get a couple more VEs, I can give you and your family exams.
I just received my VE credentials in the mail over the weekend.

Exams are given monthly in Ann Arbor through the ARROW amateur radio club.
See http://www.cyberspace.org/~arrow/ (The page will be updated shortly
for their next meeting, which will be on Wednesday, 10 April, at 7:30 p.m.
The ARROW station will open at 6:30 for any hams wishing to use the HF
radio, and also following the meeting.)

Because of my class and work load I won't be ready for testing any earlier
than Dayton. I won't be taking any Spring/Summer classes so will have a
little over 2 weeks to prepare between the end of this semester and Dayton
weekend. Staci may not be ready even then, but is working on it whenever she
isn't doing school work. She will take hers at one of the ARROW sessions if
she misses being ready for Dayton.
STeve needs to find a pre 1987 Call Book to get grandfathered into General
Class and then take his upgrade for Extra.

The exams that the ARROW gives are extremely well run and I am glad to be in
the list of available VEs for their test sessions.

his call back then?

WB8WSF then and now.
I sent in my pre-reg for testing at the Friday 2:30 session. Staci is holding
off sending hers in til near the end of the month. She still isn't sure that
she can feel ready by then.

Congrats to all.
It is nice to see that the VE program is still going strong. I just renewed
my license for a second 10 year hitch.
Thanks to STeve for helping me get what I have.

How much space do you have available for 80m/160m antennas? Do you have
any towers, etc?

re 108
I finally got the chance to ask my uncle, even though I'm sure it's way
too late to be of any help, and he doesn't have any callbooks.

Hi, I have used vhf marine radio and have become fascinated with the ameture
radio idea. There is an exam in canada I can take for vhf operator. Is there
another exam I can use to broadcast my own content from a laptop. basically
I want my own 2 way radio station. not too greedy eh. exit

umm...please define "content". There are amateur radio modes that use a
computer such as PSK-31 (2 way txt mesg), SSTV (slow scan TV), APRS (GPS
relayed via radio), RTTY (does anyone even use this mode anymore?), Packet
(older than PSK-31 with error correction) and probably more that I haven't
thought of.

You should also consider what you're talking about as a broadcast, which is
typically not allowed on amateur frequency allocations.
As for Jeff's comments, RTTY us used still on HF, but is non-corrected
text-only. AMTOR, the amateur version of SITOR, is corrected text-only,
mainly used on HF. There are modes called Clover, G-TOR, and HF Packet
that allow file transfers over the air as well.
Something else you might look at is that some of the "channels" allocated
under 802.11b are in the amateur allocation, and can be used for a short
distance radio network.

Bill here. I listen to shortwave, and sometimes hear hams, the airport and
some Detroit police station on my tabletop scanner. What did the previous
message say? I guess I'm newbier than him!

Roger that = I agree. "Roger" is an acknowledgement that a communication has
been received and understood. If you are asking about #120:
KA6ATN is a radio amateur call sign licensed in region 6.
QTH = station location
5 by 9 means that the readability is "5", the scale running 1 to 5, and that
the signal strength is "9", the scale running 1 to 9.
