KI6DYY here. I'm the only one at my school, though I keep trying to get some of my students interested. I'll be upgrading to General right after Nationals.

It's a good thing.
Congratulations!

I got my license, new callsign at KC2RGZ, I was slightly off on the frequency of the repeater, the transmit shift is at 448.350 MHz, and the IRLP is at 4747.

Are you Hams planning on bringing your radios to Atlanta? If so there are several IRLP enabled repeaters in the area, it would be cool to get everyone on one frequency (2 meter maybe? or 70 centimeter?) and I can dial in from Potsdam :) or if you can get local IRLP access, we can dial to some reflector and have a FIRST Ham party for those of us who can't be there. (I'll be studying for finals that week)

Is there a website or a specific place I can contact to get involved in that? I'm pretty interested in doing something like that.

See this thread.

Both machines have fantastic coverage downtown (being on the tallest building in ATL helps) and both are conected to IRLP. For specifics on the nodes see http://www.w4doc.org/arc/irlp.html

Looking forward to seeing everyone here next week.

I have the 1964 ARRL Radio Amateur's Handbook sitting right here, read up when you come home this weekend :)

You can play with the BC-348-Q also....practice listening to code....if it feels like working, that is. the band switch is a bit flaky.

I took the test here in Ontario two years ago and found out the hard way that you really have to study for it and know you're stuff, no morse code but they took away my blackberry and advanced calculator and left me sitting there in the exam room with paper and pencil.......let's just say study and passing the ham radio exam will be THIS spring's project for me:)

348 still in working order? Pretty cool! I thought I was living in the dark ages with an HW-101. Do you have one manufactured by Wells Gardner? I worked summers for them while going to school, they are out of business now as far as I know. Interesting company, learned a lot about production while I was there and also how to drive a forktruck.

my 348 is from Wells Gardner, although it's not quite all original...someone swapped out the dynamotor for a homebrew 120vac supply many years ago.

I should put some pics of it on my web page (the typewriter museum) when I have a chance.....so much junk, so little ambition!
