Hello, Just got my Tech licenses in Nov '21. I live in Bloomington and own my own business.
Bought myself an Anytone AT-D878UVII Plus for Christmas. I just watched reviews on YouTube and thought it might be a good radio. Just now with the help from another HAM got it set up and am now able to at least use it.
I am also a member of the Civil Air Patrol. This is where I thought that having a radio license could help out so I am getting more involved with communications.
Looking forward to learning new things and meeting new people.
Welcome to our hobby, Brad. Look forward to helping you along on your journey into the world of amateur radio. Hope to hear you on the air more soon. 73's Russ N9DHX
