CQ CQ Bro. Sigler...I did not konw that you were an Amateur Radio operator. I did not notice if you posted your call sign or not. I am inactive at the presant time but hope to become activc. I had an old Yeasu HF Rig but swapped it for a VCR Camcorder as I was filming my sons High School Band performances for the Band Director. I still have an
Icon "IC 27-H" 2 Mtr.rig and a Rad Shack 2 Mtr. and 440 Mtr. Handheld rigs and 10 Mtr SSB/CW Xmtr.
Anyway 73's and I will work you on down the road (hopefully). Speaking of, I got my License renewal a few days ago. My call expires in September, so I need to get it renewed

I've been licensed since 1966. My call sign is W2BOB. I am Net Control of the 2 meter CBS Retirees net here in the New York City suburbs and am active on all HF bands, especially 20 meters. I'm also Net Control of the Broadcasters Net on Wednesdays at 2045 Zulu (4:45pm EDT) on 14.255 mhz. In addition to being an Extra Class licensee, I also hold an FCC General Radio Telephone license, which was mandatory for my employment at CBS Radio and TV (28 years).
My ham shack is surrounded by my steel guitars, but never the twain shall mix! I've had many QSO's with other steel playing hams which makes the radio hobby more enjoyable.
To those steel playing hams on the forum who are no longer active - if you worked hard learning the code and tech stuff to pass the test, you are doing yourself and amateur radio a disservice by not using the privileges you earned by becoming a licensed amateur radio operator. If you are validly licensed get back on the air! You might even find another steel playing ham to QSO.

Yea, great subject. I spent 3 years as an Intercept operator in Landsburg Germany, 1953 on one shift and Johnny Cash on another. Got my 1st license years later then didn't follow through. I didn't think the License ever expired, but if they do mine has. I got the interest again. I love the CW. I'm sure the equipment today would allow me to have a site with concealed antennas. Chet

BTW, The FCC has changed the testing requirements for an Amateur Radio License. CW is no longer necessary to get a license. However, the tech portion of the tests require a firm understanding of the electronics involved (especially formulas) as well as operating rules & regs.
So if the code was preventing you from getting a license, that obstacle has been eliminated.
Tests are administered on a regular basis by FCC authorized Amateur Radio Volunteer Examiners in a location near you.
