well you've stumbled into a group that will help you along better than anywhere else on the net...take an inventory (with pics) and post away.

again congrats!

Will do.

I think there are around 6 or 9 radios, like 3 power supplies, and I also have the tower.
There are boxes of all kinds of cables, connectors, home built gizzmos.

It is hard to figure out where to start.

This!  I'm having lots of fun since I got active on HF.  The digital modes are a blast!  Only today I had a PSK31 contact with Hungary and the Dominican Republic.

Probably will happen in the next 3 days.

What many people don't know about the licensing process is that the score sheets and test materials are forwarded to the respective VEC after the local test session. The VEC then checks it for accuracy and enters it in the FCC database. Couple days later, poof, your call appears. Another tidbit is that the VE team has 10 days to mail it off. At least that is ARRL-VEC policy. So if your local team sat on it for few days before mailing it off it will explain the delay.

{Above learned while studying to become a VE. Application just went in the mail.}
