[SMCARA] Technician License

[Scott S. Bonk]

Good afternoon,

I am not yet an SMCARA member, but I joined this mailing list earlier 
this year as I am interested in getting my Technician license and 
getting into the hobby. I hope this email doesn't disturb anyone or 
break any rules.

My name is Scott, I am 25, and I am a resident of St. Inigoes, MD just 
outside of Webster Field. I have been recently studying the Technician 
exam, and a lot of the knowledge is already familiar to me with the 
exception of a few weak areas I am working on. I am reaching out to see 
if anyone in the club might be willing to assist in proctoring an exam, 
or if there are local resources available to do so. All of the test 
sites I am finding online are 2+ hours away north of Baltimore or in 
Virginia.

I already have a pretty large collection of Motorola radios ready to go, 
including HT750s, HT1250s, CDM1250/1550LS+, XTS2500/3000/5000, but I'd 
like to get licensed and be able to actually use them as intended beyond 
just monitoring and perhaps meet some interesting and knowledgeable 
folks along the way.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or input anyone has. I look 
forward to the opportunity to perhaps become more involved with the 
club, help out, and learn more.

Thank you,

Scott Bonk
