    OMG! That's serial number 148321! I could be IN that picture! Jig Dog 321 (her call sign) was one of my birds! I could tell you stories for hours, but this is the wrong forum for that! Do you think my avatar is appropriate?

    Thank you, Nick!:biggrin_25514:

    Your Avitar is more than appropriate. By the way, I am the historian for all of the 130's. (Marine Corps)

    You can send any of your stories to me, just check out my site. kc130.com. You are in there, in fact all of the LC's "F's"-only though are in there.

    the place to start is www.hello-radio.org. and there are dozens of other places to look. to get you first license you eill have a 35 question test. when you finish and have answered 75% of the questions right. Then you will get your first license. A tech license will let you talk in the 10 meter band 28.300 to 28.500 ssb and fm on the 6 meter band 50.00 to 54.00 the 2 meter band 144.00 to 148.00. most of the talking goes on the two meter band fm. Get the book "[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]The ARRL Ham Radio License Manual[/FONT]" that will help you get started.

    It is much harder to go from CB to ham without making some major social mistakes on the air (some operators might never forgive you, either)! These are two different systems that operate on different bands and in different ways with different rules and are nothing at all alike. Ex-CB'ers don't last long on ham radio if they can't obey ham rules AND FCC regulations!

    Get your ham license and learn the RIGHT way to communicate. Then you'll understand our disdain the first time you listen to CB on the road. You'll never refer to yourself as a CB'er after that!:biggrin_25513:
