New Technician License

I don't have much space ( or money ) and can't put a big atenna on our roof. Could you make some suggestions? Also, what equiptment is required to run off your computer?? Also, does the general license still require that you pass Morse Code Exam first.?? I"m hearing lots of debate over that. Thanks. Yes, unfortunately that pointless anachronism is still required of prospective hams for the general license. I can copy around 10wpm and I'm not a ham. It's not hard but it does take practice and a dedicated will to learn. Anybody can learn to copy 5wpm if the spend a week or two in their spare time. It helps if you have a person that knows CW helping you. Most radio clubs give classes. I don't understand why a ham wouldn't want to know it and gain full privileges? CW is kinda neat when you learn it and it is kinda a right of passage type thing. I wanted to learn it just to kinda know what was being said in that mode. B.H. |
