Red Wave Radio

I'm a computer engineer, with growing interest in wireless technology.
Its time i finally bite the bullet and get my amateur license.  i've
been meaning to do this since 5th grade when my teacher showed me his
ham radio.

I'm mainly interested in digital communications, although some analog
would be good too.

Where do I get started?  My background knowledge still isnt strong
enough to get me certified right yet...

Thanks
Matt

If you are in the San Diego area, check on SANDARC.  They do have website
but I don't have the URL.

The introductory license is the Technician class and it gives you all
privileges in the VHF and higher frequencies including digital and analog.

Come and join the fun.
