Amateur Radio?

[tincanblower]

Hey,
I'm new here - just wondered if there were any other Radio Hams on the site?
Most Radio Amateurs I know seem to have a fetish with lights - I just wondered if the same was true in reverse?
Cheers es 73,

I'm not a HAM, but I can sometimes hear you all on the shortwave radio. 73 from the Golden State :thumbsup:

Also a Radio Amateur with a KC8 callsign.

Which reminds me, it expires in mid 2009, so right about now would be a good time to get the paper work started

Last time I did a straight renewal, with no mods, I was able to do it all online and it was FAST. You'll need your ULN to do it. You can do it yourself, and I think it's a bit tedious, or else you can go here and get the W5YI group to do it. W5YI charges $8, they're REALLY fast, but they ARE the group that lobbied so hard to do away with the CW requirement, so some avoid them because of that.

Seems I recall that you can't renew your license until within 90 days of expiration, but not 100% sure that's right.

This will be my first renewal since I got the license. Mostly I just want to figure out the process and get all my flashlights in a row so to speak.

 

[KD5XB]

It would probably be easier and quicker to have the W5YI group do it, especially if you haven't tried it before.

I'm not a HAM, but I do own an Icom V8000 that I use to chase for for desert races. I'm currently listening to a live "Weatherman" stream from the Baja 1000 on Race-Dezert.com.

Wow - so quite a few hams then... no other UK ones so far though. Hope I'm not the only one!

I've been a ham for 15 years. Unfortunately, I'm not as active as I was a few years ago... but I'm hoping to become more "radioactive" again soon. It is a great hobby.

W1 here, been a Ham almost 30 years. Always have the HF rigs on next to the computer, one on 20 and the other on 80. Seems that lights, knives, guns and radios all go together.

Radio, does the proximity of the computer cause you any RFI?
