I have to tell you that "hams helping hams" was the way I grew up in
ham radio. I was a teenager when I started, and the East Palestine
Radio Club members (about 20 hams) extended their expertise and
suggestions to this new ham - I was 15 years old at that time.
They shared their knowledge and experience with me and helped me along
the way. That led me to a rewarding career in electronics and
specifically 30 years with IBM. My early lessons with RF phenomenon
gave me an advantage over my peers who were steeped in digital stuff,
so I enjoyed the advantage of having both digital and analog experience.
I owe a lot to those East Palestine, Ohio hams who gave so much to me
helping me along with not only the fundamentals, but encouraging me
toward an exciting and rewarding career.
My help on this reflector (and others) is part of the "payback" to
those hams who have helped me along the way. Most of them are SK and
I cannot personally thank them, but I can certainly pay them back by
continuing the assistance they gave to me. "Pay it forward" and "hams
helping hams" is what I learned from them, and I intend to continue
that until I can do it no more. It is my way of thanking those who so
unselfishly helped me along many years ago.

Absolutely! Whenever I've had any questions/problems with my K2, Don
has been there with the solution. It's amazing how much he knows
about these rigs and how willing he is to share that knowledge with
the rest of us.
A true ham in all aspects.
Thanks Don
