On a sad note,,, unfortunately, a wind storm damaged some of my antennas, and 3 weeks later I had a $30,000 lightening strike,, but have some of the equipment

up and running again,,,,,, unfortunately, another blow.... the attitude of a few of the local hams has me not wanting to get back to 100% operation!

We should be encouraging amateur participation,,,, but not always so!!!!!! I now understand why over 80% of local hams are not on the "local frequencies".
