Thanks. I have been reading about Winlink. I saw that, for my intended purpose, a general class license is required. Fortunately, I love reading and was a high school science teacher. I plan to study for the next few months and take both exams back-to-back. Hope to see you down the road. 73

Thanks. I was reading over some ARES information and ran across Echo link. I have that on my list of things to read about. Hope to see you down the road. 73

It is good to see there is a forum for amateur radio folks. I am studying to take the technical and general some time in 2021. Brenda is willing to take the technician exam and share in the fun. I want to read seven of the basic manuals from ARRL and enjoy the process of learning about the hobby before we do anything. We are probably not interested in DXing or contests. We are interested in exploring: ham radio satellites, moon bounce, Winlink, and ARES. I am guessing we will see other hams in the southwest during this winter. Hope to meet up and enjoy a conversation and socially-distanced meal over some... HAM. ~John N.
