Hello.

My name is Aimee Lewis.  I'm a new kid on the block too.  I'm also studying
for my tech license.  I just came home a while ago from my fourth class.  I
reside in Jacksonville Florida.  I found out about this list from my
wonderful prince charming John Jacques, AKA kd8pc.  Anyway, I'm hoping to
make lots of new friends on here.  Art and Linda, where do you all live in
West Central FL?  Maybe we can exchange contact info and study together some
time.  Anyway, 73 to all, and to all a good night.  Oh, and lots of 88s for
my sweetie!

        Hello Everyone,

    I'm new to the list, although I've been studying the lessons for the =
Technicians license for a bit.

    With a small remains of vision, I have a GDF Golden guide canine =
named JJ.  My S-O, Princess Linda Knight is also here on this list.

    I'll ask a question  that Princess asked, that seems to have gotten =
no response.

    A secuirty guy here where we live knows we are getting into HAM, and =
has a Transceiver for sale, a hand-held ALINCO VHF FM DJ-196.

    It has two oval buttons over a square  of 16 smaller buttons on the =
face.  .  There is a print instruction book, and a charger.

    One would have to memorize what each button is, and what it does, =
and in conjunction with which other button or buttons.  The unit has a =
telescoping antenna.

    Of course there's no way the Princess or I could read the screen.=20

    Any comments?

        Art and GDF Golden guide canine JJ.
