We Encourage you to consider a Ham License, there is a whole other world out there waiting for you.

The rules are simple. Treat others with respect at all times. Like you would want to be treated by your peers. No commercial sales or promotions are allowed. If you have a personal radio for sale it's OK to post an announcement, but take negotiations off-list please. Any software posted in the "Files" area of the group must be in the public domain without distribution restrictions.

After membership approval, messages are normally unmoderated, meaning they do not need to pre-approved before they get posted. That does not mean they are not read by the moderator. Inappropriate, grossly off-topic or off-color posts will be deleted. Repeat offenders will first be placed on full moderation and then banned. Please, no discussions of religion, politics, etc. This is a radio group. Purely provocative comments are strongly discouraged. The goal here is to share information not to criticise others trying to get help or be helpful. Remember, everyone was a beginner at some point and no one knows everything.

All are welcome.
