Any of you into HAM radio?

Post by Benjamin »

Just wondering if anyone is into HAM or knows anyone who is. I just bought this beast (http://www.qsl.net/on6ab/TS570Pics.html) to play around with. These aren't my pics, just a fellows site I found online.

I think it's really neat that I can listen to and talk to people all around the world. I didn't want to spend too much on this because I don't know if I'll get into it or not but the reviews on the Kenwood TS-570DG are all incredible. Out of 140 reviews on one site it scored 4.6 out of 5. (http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/237)

I haven't received it yet and still need to buy a power supply and antenna for it.

That's pretty cool. I'm never used any stuff like that. The closest I get is ham sandwiches. That's not really close enough though.
