Re: So I am hopelessly lost on this FT-60R

Alvin,
If you reach it from San Martin, N6NFI near the Dish at Stanford has the "9 AM Talk Net" every weekday, open to all hams (no club membership required?nor expected). 145.230, 100 Hz PL.? Obviously primarily a San Francisco Bay Area talk net but N6NFI has awesome coverage into Half Moon Bay, Sierra foothills, and via Echo Link

I can empathize you as I got my Technicians ticket a week ago yesterday and my FT 60 a week ago today.? I did buy the RT programing software and cable and loaded my radio with all the repeaters on 2 meter and 70 cm within 62 miles of my location (there is a? reason for this). I was wondering about first contacts and such until i was scanning the local repeaters and found a NET being run by a local ham club. It was muy iteresante. I suggest that you google local ham NETs and see what you come up with. One of the ones I hit yesterday was a "Tech Net" in the morning (09:00 PDT or thereabouts) and that's all I know, it was on a linked system, probably IRLP and was covering several states. It was fun to listen to. Anyway, find some local ham clubs say withing about 75 miles and see what you can come up with and if you are using rt -Systems software there are a ton of You Tubes on the subject of? Programing the FT 60 and the rt Systems webpage has several training videos. They are not exciting but their is good solid training to be found.?
