HAM Class October 17, 2009

SO I want to get my HAM licens and RTF is offering a calss this month. Wanted to see if there was any other interest in this. SO far its just me going , The class should last all day with a test at the end to get the licens. I will get get costs for the class tonight but it will be pretty cheap and the price includes the book.

Just wondering if there is anyone that wanted to head up there and take the class??

Post up and let me know... More info to follow

UPDATE

Ok so I got my wires crossed and it turns out that the class is in Fremont on the 17th.
The class will be from 8-5, this includes time to take the test.. It looks like this wil;l be a cram session with the test after. They talk about have a 90% pass rate in the last class. There is alot infomation on site.

Here is the link to get signed up : http://www.baears.com/

I picked up an FT-7900R. It has a remote head unit so the main part will go under the passenger seat. And I will have a removeable mount for the head unit.

Nice !!!!! That is what I would eventually like to put in.. I like the fact that you can separate the two them to maximize space

nice radio. It's updated version of my 7800r.

Here is a link to my radio install on Flickr to give you some ideas.

I finally got my radio operational. The install is is not complete though. The radio is just sitting under my seat and I still need to figure out the head unit mount. I know what I want to do, I just need to find the right pieces.

I finished the bracket to mount my radio. No FJ's were harmed in this install. (No holes drilled, except in the bracket)

I posted a couple of pictures of the bracket. I will try to take a couple of installed pictures in the daylight tomorrow. No all I have to do is mount the control head and speaker.
