Greetings
I'm a retired tech, geek, electro, etc JUNKIE.
I bought my first PC in 98, and self taught my way to knowing more than 99% of PC "techs" I talk to.
I have loved all communications toys since my first "walkie talkie" kit as a kid. to my first CB radio (you needed a license then), to my current addiction to Ham Radio. I got my Technician ticket last March and my General 6 weeks later. I'm ready to start my studies for Extra and start working DX contacts around the world.
I have been a scanner addict since the days you needed crystals. I just bought my first Digital Trunking scanner last week and I'm figuring it out.
I bought into cell phones so early I had a BAG PHONE.
I have drug my feet on a smart phone, and after seeing my buddies Droid X, it was a matter of getting the funds. Verizon is applying the rebate ins store, so tomorrow I'm heading to get a Droid X.
I really have been reading a lot on the apps, and of course Rooting m phone will probably happen as soon as I get used to the thing.
Excited? You bet I am.
Nice to meet you all.
