Hi Dave,
?I know I need a license, but I'm just starting to dig into things,
obviously want a 2 way system, kinda hoping I can do an attic based antenna
if at all possible, I remember a bit from when I was a kid about atmosphere
bouncing and such, but I have a lot of rust to scrap off my memories... ?why
do you have some gear you're looking to part with and any chance you coming
up to VCF East?

One other thing. Other than Packet radio there is PSK31 which can be a
lot of fun for text based stuff. My partner was able to communicate
with someone in the USA from australia using psk31, using less than 10
watts.
Lots of fun.

Any HAM radio operators here? I'm interested in getting some equipment
to setup a HAM radio transmission/reception system and possibly look to
hook it up to a terminal for text transmission too. I'm totally in the
dark on this, so I'm looking for anybody who can point me in the right
directions, thanks.
?I'm not a licensed amateur radio operator anymore, but I was for many
years. ?My license is long since expired. ?I've always planned to get back
into it, but I've not yet managed to do so. ?I do miss it.
?Have you had any exposure to ham radio? ?You're aware that a license is
required to transmit, yes? ?Do you have any knowledge of bands/local vs.
distance/modes etc?
