Yes! I've been at it for a few years. I've really enjoyed both the technical and social aspects of the hobby. Sometimes I drive long distances and hit repeaters along the way just to chat with new folks.
My brother was a ham and we were going to get together on it but he passed. now I'm thinking, With things like they are, I might want to get back to it or at least start. I have one of those little Baofengs... I would just like to listen to something first I need to know how to do that :)
I'm sorry to hear of his passing. That's never easy ❤️ take a look at repeater book and see if there are any repeaters near you. Tune your radio to the repeater frequency and listen in to what your local hams are up to! https://youtu.be/Irfym0AxERk?si=d3Cygl6ehRKsVGuF
I took the course years ago to get my beginner's license and I had to remind myself what a repeater was :) I wouldn't say I'm a great student anymore...
