Hi Thomas:
Welcome to the list!!!
I am totally blind and have been a ham for over 51 years.
It is the greatest hobby in the world for a blind person.
I also live in Ohio, but in Greenville, near Dayton, a long way from you.
I wish I were closer to you.
Handiham will be a great help to you for your exam.
Best 73
