Taking a class right now to get my Ham license. I've always wanted to try it out so I took the plunge.
I really don't know much about it- thought it might have a use at the cabin. I don't get a great phone signal so maybe this could help keep in touch?
Anyways, are there any Hams out there? Do you have a set up at the cabin or do you bring it back with you?
I'm thinking of bringing my equipment back and forth but am open to any ideas.
Any help or pics of your setup would be appreciated

search the forum - there's an old thread on that.
Where are you?
You'll be limited in range by your equipment (duh! 
I don't have the license, I only listen with the mobile radio.

Yes, lots of hams in here, myself included. I got my ticket back in 93. I have my late grandfathers call which he obtained in the fall of 1938.
I am an extra class, we have MtDon is a ham, Don_P is a ham, bassrjm from Canada (hope I have the right user name, another one from Minnesota Dillio 187, Bevis...
Do a search, there is another thread, asking how many hams in here.

I'm located in southern NH
My cabin is pretty remote and in the mountains. I looked up the chart and I do have a few repeaters on the towns on either side of me
I did use the search function but just couldn't find the info that I was looking for

Welcome to ham radio .and try to upgrade to general when possible gives more frequency choice. Check areasraces-leecountyfl.org/news.HTML
For go box so you can take equipment anywhere easily .and depending on freq a copper cactus j pole easy to make and a ocf dipole will get you on most freq fairly cheap and easy .73
