I Got My Technician License, Now What?
The presentation will be in the style of a forum focusing on VHF/UHF providing information helpful for those new to the hobby.  Questions will be answered by multiple contributors.

  • Why do I have to program a “Tone” for a repeater
  • Why does a repeater have a “Shift”
  • How do you use an antenna analyzer, SWR bridge or volt ohm meter?
  • I am nervous when I get one the air.
  • How do I learn the procedures of getting on the air?

While there are no stupid questions, if you would like to attend, but would prefer not to ask your questions in public, you may email your question ahead of time to Mark Globuschutz, K0MJG [email protected]
