My local GMRS club is very friendly- and helpful. Thing is… I’m not very smart and not very motivated… and lazy. I just want to pick the radio up and talk to people far away.
My club all wants me to get my technician’s license- and they would help me. But they all know so much more than me. They say ‘simple’ things and it’s like Jerry Lewis talking to Oppenheimer. “Hey, Lady…!” Talk about my porch light not being on! And nobody’s home, either. (Sigh) I need to get motivated and learn some theory. It’s no use ‘studying’ for the exam when I don’t even have the vocabulary.
But the guys here are very friendly and even if I miss a few weekly nets, they still TX my call sign and mark me present when I do chime in.
