I have a tech license, but don't want to post my call because like someone mentioned, it can be traced, and I had a bad experience with that.
The ARRL world headquarters is one town over from me, so that's where I got my license. After that I kinda got talked into going to the local HAM club meetings. They were nice, but they were all fat old people, and they had a hard time understanding that at my age, sitting in my basement chatting with old fat people on the radio is not high on the priority list. Long story short, one of them got my address and and home phone and kinda stalked me for a bit, trying to talk me into drinking and watching porn with him. I stopped going to club meetings after that.
I still have a period 2m Kenwood rig in my 4Runner for emergencies, but I don't really use it.
