I am in exactly the same situation. We went to the POTA at Brazos Bend state
park and learned a bit. I'll try to make it to the 4/20 event as well. I need
to find an Elmer with a high tolerance for frustration to tutor me

First, let me preface my request for help by saying that I am a Mechanical
Engineer and I still have no idea what is going on. I collect lots of data on
rotating and fixed equipment, and I understand Control systems just enough to
be dangerous.
That said, I have had my General license for almost a year, and I still have no
idea how to operate a ham radio, how to communicate with anyone or find
channels to communicate on. I freely admit that the amount of time that I spend
trying to learn is minimal, because of other priorities at the moment. I don’t
have any friends who are into ham, and I am rarely able to make BVARC functions
like the POTA.
How in the world do you get started if you don’t know where to begin? Sorry, I
am just lost.
