What a coincidence you mentioned ham radio. I am starting a class to get my Technicians license this evening. Then immediately thereafter I am enrolled in the next class, for my General license. How many years now have I been threatening to do this? I sputter along, reading books (many of which I got from a fellow Colorado ETS member!) but just never closed the deal and went and took the test. I finally figured attending an actual class, with actual real people in it, might get me off my butt. Countdown to that starting is 10 hours from now. I'm excited!
