New forum member here and just saw this thread. I've been an HAM since 2000. I have spent a lot of time working in ARES groups and SKYWARN in Texas and Memphis.
I have put off testing for Extra for many years but may go for the August Hamfest date. I am listed with ARRL as an Elmer and currently setting up a Radio Club at the School I work at.

If anyone needs help on study info, mobil mounting, or any other items I'm available to help. I teach auto mechanics so I can explain most theories in a very basic manner.
