Suggestion: Firearms while overlanding. Recreational shooting, protection, transportation, safety, locations, type, families w/ kids vs. solo or adults only.

Well I'm not in charge of topics but the powers that be might see this and take those into consideration. I listen to two Friday Night Nets before getting my license and have down 2 or 3 since then but again I have just had my license for 3 weeks give or take a day.

Put your suggestion here and the Net controllers will probably see it.

Congratulations on the upgrade.
I need to start studying for my extra. I would like to take my test over the holidays I think.

Honestly, I booked the exam before I even started studying as a forcing function. HamStudy.org made it very doable.

I am a huge advocate for HamStudy.org. I will be taking my test here locally. There is a test next weekend, and then the next one will be around the middle of December. I am holding out for December. I could test next week, but that will keep someone from getting their tech license.
