Generally the shorter the call sign, the longer the person has been a 
ham and the higher the rating they have.

I think.

&gt;&gt;&gt; We have what we call hamfests.  These are a combination of new 
&gt;&gt;&gt; equipment
&gt;&gt;&gt; dealers, used equipment dealers and lots and lots of people selling
&gt;&gt;&gt; their used equiipment.
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; Use this link for hamfest dates.

&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; As far as equipment goes, Ham Radio Outlet, HRO, is on Buford hwy
&gt;&gt;&gt; outside 285 just north of northcrest road.  They have all the major
&gt;&gt;&gt; brands in stock.  There is also a bulletin board just inside the front
&gt;&gt;&gt; door that has listings for used equipment and meetings and classes.
&gt;&gt;&gt; They also have many good study guides.
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt; Drop me a line if you need any more information and if it isn't too far
&gt;&gt;&gt; you are welcome over anytime to see what it is all about.
&gt;&gt;&gt;

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Are there any local Lugs for Ham Radio?
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; I'm not sure about the lugs or the fees - but there are frequent
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; hamfests and from what I recall it's not too bad to get
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; licensed...your rig may be another issue altogether (Frys!)  I'm
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; working on getting around to getting my license too.  One of my
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; friends is a ham and got me hooked.
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;  
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Thanks in advance, (and sorry for the OT)-
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;     
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Not necessarily OT ... I'm far from an authority, but does anyone here
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; have experience using Linux w/ham radio operating?
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
