You are a perfect candidate for that license, Grant.  The new
license will allow you to use all frequencies and modes above 30
Mhz.  That includes 2 meters, 6 meters and all of the satellite
frequencies.

Beginning February 15, the test can be given by two volunteer
examiners (I think they must be Advanced or Extra hams).  Your best
bet is to find an amateur radio club in your area and ask them.
Most of the examinations are given by local ham clubs.

You can also get information from the American Radio Relay League.
If you have access to the HAM echo, leave a message there for Luck
Hurder and ask him for the beginner's information packet.  They
will send you one free. If you can't access the echo, mail or
telephone a request to:

ARRL
225 Main Street
Newington, CT  06111
203-666-1541

Good luck, and I will be glad to help if you have any questions.
