Hello, net.ham-radio !

I have been reading this newsgroup for only a week, and find
it very interesting(although largely incomprehensible), and I
have a general question; how does one "get into" ham radio ?

I have a background which gives me some knowledge of electronics
and electricity, and a bit of telecommunications, and would like
to find out if this fascinating hobby is for me.

My only experience with two way radio communications is the CB
in my car.

Is there any particular reading which would be enlightening to
a novice ?


Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

			      Regards;
			      jim
