I got my tech HAM license 10 years ago, and I’m still learning. I’m a slow starter, but I finally setup a scanner, CB, and HAM station including all 3 antennas. One book that motivated me was from Sparks31 (sparks31.wordpress.com) called “Communications For 3%ers and Survivalists.” It details equipment and uses.
Use it or lose it. Enjoy!
I do the New England Forest Rally every year, rally sprints, and sometimes rallies in New York.
This year, and in 3 years did and will do the Climb to the Clouds, the oldest auto race in the USA, to the top of Mount Washington.
Travis Pastrana beat his own record with 5 minutes,44.7 seconds to the top. Higgins wrecked his car.
Ken Block, and other world class drivers come to compete in NEFR on closed logging roads at well over 10 MPH.
Two days of a real life "disaster training".
We also do things like the Wildman biathalon. Hams do the Boston Marathon and the NYC one.
Now I know you. What a shame. Your moderate agenda will be to your failing.
