Ron, go for the most advanced license you are comfortable with taking, then let's get you on the air. Awesome good operators will help you. Isn't it amazing how many ex-military and commercial CW ops,

The Banner is now ready to download. Hope you enjoy. 73/72, Keith KC0PP

Hello Ron, I agree with Tom N2UHC; go for the General Class ticket. With your background, it should be a cakewalk. Just study the on-line question pools. Besides, it's a government, multi-choice

Hi Ron and Tom, go for it Ron, with your background you should have no problem absorbing what you need to pass any FCC test. And, BTW, I was a Ground Radio Repairman with the 6987 RSM, ShuLinKou,

Tech license? Heck, go for at least General so you can use HF! We'd be happy to have you. BTW, I was a Morse intercept op in the Air Force from 1989-1993. -- Tom Sevart N2UHC St. Paul, KS

Ron, Just DO IT! I am mentoring an 82 y/o retired dentist and he is having the time of his life. There are so many small QRP transceiver kits you can build and use that you will be busy for years.

Thanks Jamie saved me from searching for that email. Roi is an excellent instructor and that will be the new material. There is no time like the present to get involved with this fascinating hobby.
