New Ham – VE6KDP
Hi. I’m just brand new certified with honours near Olds. I’m looking for some guidance on a mobile unit for car and home I would like to buy. I don’t know any hams in the area and I need to know where to turn to purchase, likely new/newer equipment. Any guidance available?
Thanks!
Dan

Hi Steve,
Thanks for this. I have checked out what you mentioned. I am a member of RAC now. I notice your mention of the CAARC meetings. I sent a note to the address listed on this site and haven’t heard if I have been accepted as a member of the club. I do listen on the NET night (Monday) when I can and am currently in the process of looking for locals Hams whom I might communicate with and gain some experience with. I haven’t heard any other communications.
