they have cheap ham radios at www.cheapham.com/ and some more expensive ones at www.hamradio.com/ and you can find real cheap antennas at amazon.com as for what kind/type clydesdale might know more about that than me.

Hello Sandi! I found the following website, www.arrl.org/
ARRL is pretty much the authority on Ham Radio.
Before you get a ham radio and broadcast on it you have to have a license. ARRL.org will help you find test dates and locations in your area.
I am using the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 2nd addition to study for my test.
I hope this helps you.

I found this website page called Guide To Choosing Your First Radio. I also found this on Yahoo Answers.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more help.

i agree. it is hard getting started in something like ham radio as there is so much misinformation and opinion. I also like ARRL's website at www.arrl.org. A lot of good information for people just starting in Ham Radio.

HA, im with ya there bro, i know only the little bit ive read! my extent goes as far as cb radios and walkie talkies.
Clyde

same here.
I do enjoy cb's. I had a real good one when I drove trucks across country. It had a 300 watt amp.

ya truck driving is where my experience comes in with cb's, being a hoodlem back in the day is where i learned about walkie talkies a little

I would like to get another CB in the near future as I have a feeling they will be almost as valuable has ham radios. However they will be scarce. FRS radios will have some practical applications in my opinion.

i like cobras personally, cheap but they take a beaten, i dont know about scarce, parts of me says they wont be cuz all the trucks have them, but how many people that raid them will get one, not sure

I do like cobras too, but i lean more towards galaxy radios. All the semi's do have them, but they aren't as common as they were back in the early 90's
Krime

ya, 90s were great when it came to cb's seemed like everyone was on one

It is the cell phones that killed the cb market.
