I was an Amateur Radio operator for many years but I lost interest when the Internet became popular (1994/1995).
I had a "General license" that I had to study and take a test for and a bunch of great Kenwood ham radio equipment including a keyboard that sent out Morse code for me. I thought I would never forget Morse code but I have. I have way too many things on my plate right now but very information and great memories you brought forth for me Gail! ~Lori On Fri, Oct 14, 2016 at 6:50 AM, Gail Holmes <fgdhol...@cox.net> wrote: > I'm not a quad so idk if I would do this but I think Amateur Radio would > be fun and the club members in my area are delighted to help newbies get > started. > > I was told that it can be modified for sip and puff chair users as well as > those who control their chair with eye tracking. > > Amateur or Ham radio operators have been useful during hurricanes and the > recent devastating flood in the Baton Rouge area when power was out and > cell phones were useless in many areas. > > Idk what the start up costs would be but perhaps the radio clubs could > assists finding used equipment. > > > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Oct 13, 2016, at 1:10 AM, Lori Michaelson <lorilivin...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > to answer your question Jeffrey... this is just a portion of what I enjoy: > > * Spending as much quality time possible as I can with my United States > Certified Support/Companion Golden retriever as I consider her my daughter. > > * Since 2006 I have been a member of a community of digital Scrapbooking > which is really digital art.
