Amateur Radio Operator: Get Started Today

There seemed to be increased traffic at the mention of Amateur Radio Operators (or maybe it was S.S.E.T.I.?) so I found a link for anyone interested in learning how to get started.

The National Association for Amateur Radio and the Amateur Radio Relay League (ARRL) have everything you need to get started. Of course you need a few dollars to buy some equipment and whatnot, but learning to send Morse code or studying to take your licensing test is all free. And they say basic equipment is cheap but still offers plenty of potential. Save for your equipment and learn the tech first. You can always get fancy technical hardware later.
It sounds like fun. Maybe I'll join too....
