Welp, I just took and passed my tech exam here in AZ. I tried my luck at the General and missed by six. Not bad for not never studying for it. Hope to have my callsign in a couple weeks.

Got an HT for now, a VX-6R. Hope to get to packet radio capabilities soon.

Outstanding!...

Start your study for the General ASAP, and grab it while this is all fresh in your head.

Keep checking the FCC database. As soon as you come up, you can begin operating as Temporary AG. EX: This is AR1FVE Temporary AG. As soon as you get your card, you can drop the AG and go at it.

Oh, I've already started. I'm also trying to consume all the good info here on arfcom as well. I know Tech isn't all that hard to achieve, but I feel good I am finely over this one milestone.

+1 on Tech.

If you explored all of VHF/UHF while being a tech, you'd be there forever.

Fantastic on the test and  I'm sure you'll love the VX-6R. Now would also be a great time to knock out the general. In fact you could probably be testable over the weekend.

Very good! It's nice to see more operators. Just remember its not CB =).

Keep searching the FCC database, as soon as your name appears, and the license is granted, you are good-to-go.

I've been  a tech only for a couple years, and haven't felt the need for any HF stuff yet, so here I am.
