Hi Elliot,
Welcome to Charlie Tango.
...and welcome to the wonderful world of radio! It's a hobby that can last a lifetime. (Or indeed, revisit.)
Not everyone drives a car, (myself included ), or able to install a mobile setup in their vehicle. I've seen plenty of mobile setups though on both bicycles and motorcycles! Always nice to have a home station setup. If you need any specific info just fire away with your questions on the forum, there's a lot of helpful members here.
Callsigns are usually issued most days so you shouldn't have to wait long. Just keep an eye out on your posting here.
All the best, Victor

Hi Victor,

Many thanks 73 Elliott
