      No, not yet. I still don't have a radio Loren! LOL! I haven't recieved my hard copy yet either. I'm looking at various deals online right now. Any other suggestions on where I might look for used gear?

      I'm almost ready for the element 1 and studying dilegently for the element 3. I'm hoping to take those test in 2 weeks (fingers crossed).

      Taking the element 2 was really just a way to light a fire under my ass to take the other tests. I don't really have a lot of interest in VHF or UHF so I'm not in a big rush to get on the air.

      I'm sure I will find SOME interests there but what I REALLY want is access to the HF bands! :-)

        O.K., I understand. HF still has its charms. Now,
        if only the band conditions will improve! :-)

          Leave it to me to rekindle my interest in Ham radio at the LOW point in the sunspot cycle! However, by the time conditions improve i hope to be an efficient operator and will take FULL atvantage of them!

            Took my elements 1 & 3 today. Aced my element 3 (100%). missed a acouple of characters on my morse but had several minutes of perfect copy so it was enough to pass.

            Now, all i need is gear!!!

            :-)

              Congrats!!!

              I'd ask around at your local HRO re: local clubs which can help you out with radio gear, either used, or hanging out with some folks to help you get on the air.
