 Wa> I recently received a TYT TH-UV88 as a gift.

I discovered we have a local HAM radio club (www.hamiltonarc.ca) & today
happened to be one of their net meetings.  I decided to listen in & it
was actually kind of cool, the repeater is near by & I was able to get a
surprisingly clear signal inside my house with nothing but this tiny handheld
w/ a "rubber ducky".

There was a new guy who checked into his first meeting on today's net,
which made me want to join in even more.  He said he just finished his course
online with the same one was I was considering.

 Wa> There's an online course starting soon or a local club has a course
 Wa> starting in September.

I took the plunge and just signed up to this course which begins on Thursday
and runs through to October.

Not sure what I just got myself into, but wish me luck!  :)

.... Of course I talk to myself, sometimes need an expert opinion!
