Take a look at qrz.com (requires registration) and swap.qth.com to get a
look.

I just bought a Kenwood TS-440S that works great for $50 from an
estate sale.

Reminder that you need to have a General class license or higher to
transmit.

Welcome Jayden. Good luck on your HAM journey. There's a lot of folks around the BBS community that would be willing to help, unfortunately, I am not one of them. Just wanted to send a shoutout.

Not strictly true. Techs have limited HF privileges: phone
and data on a portion of 10m and CW on 15, 40 and 80. Of
course, one needs _a_ license to transmit legally in the US.

You're correct. I just didn't think about that. I just meant that if you
do not have a license.

I'm marking 2025 my 28th year of being licensed. I think I enjoy the hobby even more now than I did when I was first licensed.

I also obtained a GMRS license recently. My callsign is WSBW961.

Laddie, don't you think you should rephrase that? ;)
