Made contacts with stations in Colorado and Alaska, with the help of my friend Brian Turner who wants to join RACES also.
It was fun actually making a live distant contact after upgrading my license.

There was a fire in the kitchen of the residence. The family said they had just left their house and one of the daughters thought she forgot something and they went back.
The kitchen was gutted. Luckilly they had insurance to cover the loss. The bedrooms were relatively undamaged; washing clothes and linens should help.
Now I have priviledges to operate on the worldwide high frequency bands. If I only had $1000 for all the gear! (But how much would I use it to actually get on the air?)
Met some interesting people in the class whom I may network with later.
The photo shows myself and Gordon West, the class teacher. 'Gordo' is a great teacher - funny, informative, lively; I recommend taking his classes to get a license. You can't help but get interested by his enthusiasm.
