§ 160m thru 10m no WARC bands
§ We have antennas for all those bands except 160m (yet – that antenna is~ 250 feet long)

This is an easy way to get on HF, you can start by logging for one of the operators and try operating when you are comfortable.
You do not have to reserve operating slots but I will set up the page for that if you want too.
