New to this hobby

Greetings,

I'd like to get in to this hobby, are there courses in the area that I can take?

What are some portable radios folks use?

Thanks

Ham DXpedition from the highest point in North Bay - Widdifield Forest - any hikers interested? When sensible weather returns

Pending more pleasant weather for mountain climbing, I was wondering if any fellow adventurist amateur radio ops would be interested in hiking up to the highest point in North Bay, which is apparently located in Widdifield Forest Provincial Park.  46°27'9.42"N  79°19'4.56"W
460 m or 1,510 ft
 bit of a climb?

APRS

Got this new portable radio with APRS feature and not sure how to use it. When I tune the radio to 144.390 it sounds like a modem is training but there is no station info? My radio is a Yaesu VX-8R. Any tips or info would be appreciated.
