Hi there,

I live in Fort Collins.  I'm new to HAM radio and I'm studying up to
get my first license.  Does anyone know when/where I can take the
test?

I've been keeping my eye on ebay for some decent used stuff.  I've got
a big cottonwood tree in my front yard and was thinking about a sloper
dipole for the antenna, I found a place online selling some copper
jacketed steel cable in 100 foot lengths that should fit the bill...

Right now I've been amusing myself DX'ing with a loop antenna I made
out of copper pipe and an adjustable capacitor from an old clock
radio.  It's fun but I want to transmit!

Thanks,

Tim
