Hello,
My name is Gary Carson. I am a frequent reader of this reflector. I
participate in 75/80 meter operation several times a month from Oklahoma City
(or at least I did).
I have contracted a rare disease known as Transverse Myelitis. At the present
time I have no use of my legs or hands, and very limited use of my arms. I've
also been in the hospital this entire time. There are several of you that I am
used to talking to on a frequent basis and would just like to say hi and I hope
that I am able to get back on one of these days. I hope I don't end up selling
my boat anchors over this. During the initial assessment of the problems I was
fitted with an internal pacemaker. They are not usually compatible with ham
radio. I also have bought in the last few months a transmitter that will be
physically too big for me to work on unless I get much better. I can't make
myself sell it yet. It is capable of being remotely operated, just that I'm
not.
I just wanted to let my friends know why I've not been heard from. I called
Jim W5JO yesterday and let him know. But since my daughter is sitting here
taking this as dictation I thought I'd try to go ahead and send something out
myself, also. I hope to get back on the air. Please feel free to post this on
the AMFone if somebody wants to, although I don't know as many of that group as
I do this one, or any other AM related site. I hope this is not the end of my
ham career. It is out of my hands at the present time.
73,
Gary Carson KD5CPL
