Hey there!

Back in 1997 I packed up my Ham gear and sent it off to storage while I was off in England for 6 1/2 years -- originally from SoCal. Once the assignment was over, the SoCal storage unit was moved to Colorado and when I moved to Wyoming in 2005 everything came together in my garage where it's been sitting ever since. I have some totally cool stuff, including a Collins 32-S1/75-S1 Transmitter/Receiver that I'm suddenly itching to put on the air. I also have a Swan SS-200A transceiver if I recall correctly. It's a shame I have 4 1/4 acres at my disposal I have yet to turn into an antenna farm! I was once known for my ridiculously large antenna arrays I erected for Field Day, running the 80 Meter CW station for our club.

Anyway, I've made a modest start planting the base of my old Hustler Five Band Trap Vertical tonight (yeah there were only five HF bands once upon a time and for all I know we might have lost a few since gaining three I think) and ordered up an appropriate desk for the Guest Bedroom / Ham Shack which should arrive tomorrow. It should take a few more days to get everything set up, but in the meantime I need to know what the frequency assignments are nowadays!

I'm an Advanced Class, which if I recall was rounded down to General as far as privleges are concerned but I'm really not sure. If someone could help me out with some info and maybe be my first contact on some equipment that may or may not function after all these years it would be appreciated!
