Joe,
I've been KB5FA(Advanced) for nearly 20 years. My wife is WD5IAO. Have not been on the air for 10 years. Way to go!! There once was a great 2-meter band that served local communities which really was a considerable upgrade from Citizens Band Radio - because it was highly regulated. You not only could talk on it but could make FREE phone calls with it. Don't know if it exists today or not. I had a lot of fun running CW in my car. Strapped a key to my leg and used it that way. Folks were always amazed when I signed off CW Mobile. Also did a lot of storm chasing for the radio stations back then- talk about fun!!
