Got anyone into ham radio around? Bought a Baofeng years ago just to listen to emergency weather but been kicking around the idea of getting my license and stepping up to a better radio.
I have been studying it pretty hard here lately. Also been studying sat phones.
Both definitely have there place when needed. I’m ready for a baofeng. Hopefully I can get one soon.

I’ve got a General License and use my radios often. I like HF phone communication fine but really like the digital modes (FT8 and JS8Call). Both are weak signal algorithms using a computer sound card to communicate worldwide over radio frequencies. I’ve also played with DMR but am liking Yaesu Fusion / Wires-X more. You can use a hand transceiver to connect with a repeater that is attached to the internet. It literally makes digital voice communication with people all over the world very easy.
