I may miss the DDO Badlands weekend. The initial class I want to take for upgrading my amateur radio license is that Saturday. Are there any other "Hams" in the club?

 

loved my zj but it was stock and just real nice to drive. doesn't even come close to my xj thtough. I'll probably end up with another grand as a dd someday but it'll be a newer one

 

Gta finish ur xj first. Lol

 

I actually take that back on the ZJ comments. I loved my 5.9L grands. I owned two of them, at the same time. The only crappy part was the premium gas they both had to take.

 

This would be nice daily driver

I've seen that one driving around a few times, it is nice

 

lol I'll probably get one to dd so that I actually can finish the xj

 

When is that trip?

 

September 28th-29th. We will be staying at Summer's Camp Grounds, about 10 minutes away from Badlands.

 

Thats cool ill be there to meet a few of you guys

 

How far are you going to upgrade?? When you get ready to sit for your test... go for the Extra test as long as you are there. It didn't cost anymore last I knew.

 

I have a Technicians license at the moment. The study class, in Aurora, is for a General license. 40 yrs ago, when I was in tech school, I could have passed an Advanced class exam (in the sample tests, I couldn't quite pass the Extra). I haven't used a lot of the theory and the hobby has changed over the years. I was offered to test for the General after I finished my exam, but I knew I couldn't pass it.

 

Anyone have a np231 for sale need to swap my 249 outta the zj

 

Most of the stuff you found hard is pretty much gone now. The digital stuff and operating behavior stuff is the emphasis now. Theory is the same as it always was. That stuff hasn't changed since Marconi. I'm coming up on my second renewal of my tech license.
