Come on guys ... give it a try .. once you taste HAM .. you'll never go back to being a vege (CB radio, Walkie Talkie (FRS) etc). There is a learning curb but it's not that big of a deal. Just like Jeep world, there is TONs of info on the web. I'd be MORE than happy to share what I know about it and why I think everyone should have it. You can play/learn as you go along. How about I demo it on our next meet? Ohh and the best part ... handhelds are cheaper than CB!
Do you want completely free vehicle/person tracking on your command? APRS is your answer ... but you can't get it till you have a HAM license which is super easy!
Do you want a backup system when cell phones fail? Guess what? HAM Radio! 9/11 is the proof!
Do you want to keep in touch with your family members where even Verizon can't get to? HAM Radio!
Do it!!
I am not going to stop bothering you till you at least start looking into it seriously!

Just take the practice tests when you're out wheeling the web and once you get consistent take the real test, it's easy to learn.

I'll play along as well. Oh, and by the way, I had HAM for Thanksgiving dinner. Does that count?
I like banter!
