I have a HF shack. Finally.

This has been my dream for a long time. 2 years it has taken me to get this far.

Hi Tom! I have been a ham for over 60 years, but have not been active for about 40. I also just made a couple of videos about sort of starting from scratch. The digital modes still sort of scare me, but now I can get on 2m and talk with the local hams. On HF, I only hear people one or 2 thousand miles away. I really don't have a shack, but I have the water heater room and my corner in the living room. Welcome to ham radio! Sue, LA0CY

well if you have somthing to place the radio on, you have a shack. a very god start for me on the digital wold was DMR. but it was a high but fun learning curve. don't be afraid of digital modes, if you are not quite sure what to do, you can always ask, and it's probably also a very good idea to contact a local club that can help you understand it. 73 and god luck on the digital platform. it's well worth it.
