So a Galaxy DX 2547 with SSB wouldn't overlap enough with ham bands to be useful?
What would be the utility differences between cb w/SSB and a full-fledged ham operation?
The test don't bother me--it's the huge difference in overhead that makes me wary. And looking over the repeater list on the BIARC website (thanks!) makes me wonder if I live in a coverage puka. We live about a mile below the steam vents which makes our line of sight blocked severely.
I guess it's time for me to get hold of "Ham Radio for Dummies"...
Cheers,

I guess I should just show up at a BIARC meeting, but I see the next one has no location yet...
