Main reason I want to get back into it is for disaster readiness. Both for natural disasters, and if anything goes wrong on a long motorcycle trip.

It's good to hear the computer/radio interfaces are still alive and well. A friend of mine ages back was showing me how he could dial into a BBS over his ham setup. Or make a normal phone call.

Sounds like the test is pretty much the same as I remember, should be easy enough to study for. Thanks for the site, I'll try that first and see how I do before taking the real test.
