[RadioShack] ham question

[AA6DX]

Hi Y'all --- There are ham bands at 900 MHz and 1240 MHz ... here's a URL 
that will give you a nice chart with all the ham bands, FREE ... and also 
the country designations for callsigns.  You will need Adobe Acrobat 
Reader, as it is a PDF file.  It is excellent  --

For FREE ham radio study guides, go to my website and click the line that 
tells you about it ...

Hope this helps, and you out there looking to get your "ticket", go for 
it!  I've been doin' it for 40 years, and still lovin' it!   73  Mark AA6DX
