Geez. I could almost handle that. Its only for the short haul bands though right? I was radio maintenance in the AF. I miss the big HF rigs.

There are only three license classes now Ralph. Technician - can use the UHF/VHF frequencies and the lower end of the 10 meter HF band. General - can use all bands, but not all ham frequencies on those bands. Amateur Extra - can use all of the ham bands and frequencies.
Get the Technician license and I can talk to you on the lower end of the 10 meter band.

Edit: The FCC dropped the code requirement for all license classes. No more code tests.

:facepalm: Oh, to have my time back. That would be cool. Unfortunately my kids have my time (and money) all tied up. :facepalm: Would love to get into it though. Somewhere i this house I have several old ARRL handbooks and the antenna manual too. I love reading that kind of stuff. Just too little time to putter around with anything anymore. Course if I gave up this thread... well theres two hours a day! :?: :blink:

Even if you stopped posting you'd still have to come and read what you missed so you probably wouldn't save any time.

I think that is a bummer. I am more of a traditionalist. Even though I couldn't cut it (didn't try hard enough), that shouldn't have happened. They should have kept it for the highest level at least.

Ralph, Marcus Lieberman runs the New Mexico Mud Ducks chapter of 10-10 International. It's a worldwide organization of hams, who collect "numbers" from other members on the 10 meter band. Marcus lives in Albuquerque. I can get you his address if you are interested in contacting him.

That would be cool Jerry. PM me that if its easy, or I can probably look it up.
