Checking in. Joe - KF6QBY. I'm in Murrieta and have a dual band 2M/440 mobile rig installed in my X. Hope to join a trail run as soon as I get some basic mods done. :)

Updated Joe, thanks for the heads up.

SCCX now has 29 hams on board!  Well done everyone!

We have a ways to go to catch Just Runs here in San Diego, as their group has 172 hams...but 29 is pretty fantastic!

Callsign:  KK6OFL  (really not sure how I feel about my new call sign.)

License date:  July 31, 2014 (name appeared in the FCC database)

Current radio set-up:  Baofeng uv5r (Torro hand me down to get me listening)

Working on putting together a mobile rig for the X.  Want to do it right so I will probably be rubbing my pennies together for a while. 
I was able to figure out Chirp and upload all of the local repeaters on 2m and 70cm into the uv5r.  It was not as simple as one might think.  I'm on a Mac with a Chinese radio and a generic if not counter fit data cable.  Between finding drivers for my cable, and navigating the Baofeng's menus, it was slightly frustrating.  However, I got it to work so I'm happy.

Lol...no worries Terry.  That means you spend more time WHEELING than on the FORUMS...which is a good thing!

Steve...you've been added to the database, and again, congratulations on getting your ham ticket!  ;D

There are a million ways to prepare for the exam.

I went this route with success. That's it. Just go over it a few times.
    The test is only a few bucks to take. Put in minimal effort and you'll surprise yourself .....what's the worst that can happen...you don't pass and lose $30 bucks? Boo-hoo
