To keep track of them I planned to buy one of those alphabetical standing file folders and file them under the state first. Then I will make a spread sheet and keep track of what cities I have. You can go to web sites online that list all the cities in a state.....for example....here's one site, if you don't see your sity there, then I may have to resort to maps.

cities by state

My Grandfather did emergency work too. He was on the radio with Pearl City just before nad as the attack on Pearl Harbor happenend. He did radio work during the big floods of '56 here in the Sacramento Valley. He had, I believe, "Civil Defense" emblems on the car, and the window at home.

Unfortunately, for a large family, noone continued with Ham radio in the whole family(me included).

Hey, it's easy to get started. Go to a Radio Shack and get the book "Now you're talking". It contains study material and the test so you can practice.

After you're ready, visit www.arrl.org and look for a place to take the test. Or send me a PM and I'll look it up for you!

Code is not required for a Tech. license and only 5WPM for the other two classes. And that mey be dropped in the near future.

My Grandfather found out about Pearl Harbor from the guy two doors up on his street. A ham radio operator, he knew very soon after it happened.

Isn't that something? They should do a documentary on that sort of culture from back then to now. I think it was an important part of the 20th Century. Like the Internet, only not as ubiquitous.
