Hello All,

My name is john nemmer, sysop of this bbs, I just passed my
technician class test at the boy scout jamboree and looking forward
to working towards extra. I have alsways wanted to get into amateur
radio, but things always came up. Built the misc heathkit kits,
dabbled in electronics, run this bbbs and do a web site for my scout
district.

What I am looking for is info on equipment, operating tips etc.
Don't want to get off on the wrong foot. I have a couple emails into
some local clubs but figure they mostly shut down for the summer, so
not to worried on no response.

any comments would be great.

I am hearing high praise for the Elecraft K2 transceiver. I am really impressed with the ARRL's book Ham Radio FAQ, definitely worth the money, especially for your Scouts.
