To find a ham operator near you, http://www.arrl.org/advanced-call-sign-search

Go see them, make friends, they could be your only connection to the outside world. Plus, if you ever become interested in getting your ham license, it’s recommended that you have an “Elmer”. Basically someone to show you the ropes, someone to hang out with to see things in action, get advice on equipment etc etc.

Yep - and the ARRL web site also has a calendar for upcoming "hamfests" and swap meets - good resources for initiating contact with other enthusiasts in your area.

OK Probably a good idea and most Elmers would love the company and enjoy teaching someone the ropes. Around here a stranger will not be welcome.

94 people in my zip code, at least one of which I’m already friends with (haven’t looked at the complete list).

Now that’s an interesting site.

We’ve moved since getting our licenses so should probably update our registration data?
