Thanks all for everyone's advice and encouragement.

I ended up going for the General last weekend, but while things are still
fresh in my brain I'm thinking of taking the Extra on the 13th. I've got a
teenager who might come with me (and possibly a couple of his buddies) as
well if he is ready.

I'm still not sure what my actual plans are but maybe that is a good thing.
I like to hike in the mountains and carrying an antena sounds like a fun
thing to do.  The thing that made me interested in the first place was
reading that story of a ham who found an old NASA satellite:

satellite

That is just the sort of scientific inquiry that I find interesting. But,
since I'm a complete novice I'm sure I'll find some other interests too.

My kids got out of school early today so we're going to head up to Salem to
check out that ham shop. Will keep you posted.

Thanks again.

PS. I'll try and make it to the next meeting.
