Got a manual and started reading it yesterday to get a tech license.  looking at starting with a mid to high end handheld.  Dont feel like dropping 3K to build a home based unit atm.

I think you can build a home base setup for less than $700.  You could also do a mobile in your vehicle with a mag mount antenna on the roof which would be cheaper and also mobile.

Edit: I used the app HamStudy.  It's $4 but it helps you memorize the test questions/answers quickly.

Add me to the list of "maybe."  I'm trying to stay in the loop.

But, but, Keybase is owned by Zoom, which is owned by the chicoms, IIRC, at least according to duckduckgo and wiki.

yeah but the handheld I am looking at will do everything the mobile unit would with the exception of wattage but then the larger isssue is antenna.  I can still hook up a antenna to the handheld and use it damn near as well for less than 500$ and again its just a start  I was also thinking of a mobile unit but like I mentioned want to get a start and get learning.

thanks for the tip on the app

I'd rather China have my communications before my government or big tech.  But supposedly Keybase is secure.  It's at least more secure than ARF.

Yes. Exchange info, work up a list of grievances, a list of non swamp creatures to support, and set up future meets. Discuss pitfalls and how we can avoid them.

Guys in GD are saying get prepped for the inevitable ARF deplatform when AWS gets around to us.

Any interest in making a plan for place and time for NH Members to meet and trade contact info, should ARF go down?

Update 1/24/21:
While the OP in this case sucks and didn't show up to his own party, others more responsible did.  

Guys met, exchanged contact info and there's a NH list being compiled.

If you'd like to be on the list, please indicate so in  the thread and you'll be contacted via PM.

I'm sorry I missed meeting yesterday, but I had some family items come up.

Moving forward, I think it'd be cool to have another meet, once it warms up, maybe setup a shoot and/or a weekly/monthly Ham net for the Ham guys in the group.  

I can help anyone wanting to become a Ham Operator.  I'm not an expert by any means, but I know a guys who are really good and can help.

Thanks and sorry I missed you guys yesterday.

Be good to have semi regular meetings and have a resemblance of an agenda for discussion, goals, etc. But definitely a good start.

If I was still in NH I would have been there.

I'm stuck in MA due to my wife's job but I'm working on buying a 2nd home in NH so I can escape the massholes some of the time.

@MarkNH

If I remember right, you lived in the same NH neighborhood as me!!  Always welcome to come Mark

You're probably better off keeping in touch with the NH boys than the MA boys!!

To all who wanted to be on the list,
I've sent an e-mail thru the site contact system,
with info on how to proceed.

To those that showed up at the meet, and have already e-mailed me,
further info will be coming at you soon.

I may have doubled up a few, but that is better than missing somebody,
just think of it as a voting list - early and often!!!

To noobs to this process, as stated in the OP, just post here and i'll contact you.

Should we also identify the Ham license guys here?  

Gives us another means of comms and maybe we can get together to help get others trained and licensed too, if anyone is interested?

I have a General Ham License
