Kelvin,
Congratulations on passing your test and thank you for joining our Club! Being newly licensed, especially if you do not have any friends in the hobby that you can chat with and ask advice of; that can be daunting. This forum is a great way to get acquainted with members of the Club, ask questions, get contact information, etc. Please feel free to email, text or call me any time. My information is available in the member directory (https://rrvarc.org/member-directory/). We meet as a group once a month, we have a net every Monday night and we have someone reading and responding to these forum posts just about all the time. If you need advice on a first radio, how to get on the Monday net, anything at all, please just post here or reach out to me.
