This is on my list of things to do. I have a friend who's an Extra Class. I want to stay cheap, probably just get a handheld 2m unit and a magnet antenna -- that sound about right? I should be able to talk to most everyone who's an active ham on that band in a 30+ mile radius right.

I also need to move my CB antenna mount, it's mounted on a bar that's drilled into the underside of the bumper cover. There's a lot of wobble, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't have that metal bar to ground.
