Thank you Curt. I live in Rye Brook very close to the Merritt-Hutch meeting.
Right off King Street. I cannot access k2DIG and they told me I was too far.
They are my gateway. I can access your repeater with my HT. But is it on
Norwalk Hospital? I would love to use an HT so that on a day like this I could
get outside and operate rather than sit in front of a computer. I spent about
an hour at your FD and was impressed. I have met an talked to Dan N1zz. Also
liked that your SSB invited people to operate including two young kids and a
lovely gal. It is too bad that my 76 year old legs are not functioning that
well and could not get around more. Maybe I would have taken a shot at my
first love. CW. Maybe when you are set up, I will be able to detemine from my
analogue two bander if I can hit you and spring for the DStar rig. 73 Bob---
