I’m wondering if there’s any interest in people studying for the advanced amateur radio qualification? It’s been over 7 months since I got my license, and I’d like to start working towards getting my advanced license – I’d like to be able to build my own radios for some projects I’m dreaming up. I’ve been thinking about getting the advanced study guide from the same place the study guide @toptekkie got the basic ones and just starting to read and study and hammer away at the advanced practice exam generator.
Also, I’ve been looking around for a base station, and it seems like the vast majority of them are HF, not VHF or UHF. Is there any particular reason that HF is so popular, even though most club repeaters seem to be VHF/UHF? My first guess is that it’s due to propagation, but other than that I’m not sure.
