I"m not from Phoenix, I'm from denver, silly. :) My boyfriend
Blake is from Camp Verde, you might want to check him out. Do
you really want his callsign? He's the guy who got me into this.
It all started when he said something about me on his net, a
little commpliment of sorts. I"m in Denver, not Phoenix, but I'd
love to figure out what exam I should take and where. Maybe your
friend in Phoenix can give me an idea.
Also, whaut accommodations, should I say, are available for the
tesfts.
73,
Beth

Hello Beth from Phoenix. I believe that there is a HRO in the
Denver area.
Surely someone on the reflector will know that for sure. I would
suggest
that you call HRO, and find out what license study materials they
sell for
the various classes. I have I am certain that there must be
study material
on CD or DVD. I am sure that someone on this list will be able
to give you
much more specific poop. I'd think that your local HRO would
know of clubs
that offer exam locations and schedules. If you need any help in
contacting, or locating, your HRO, just let me know and I will
call the
manager of the Phoenix HRO, who is a good friend of mine. To
contact me
directly, my email address is [log in to unmask] Have fun and good
luck. The
tests are trivial, so my guess is that you won't have any
difficulty.

I studied,

Hello, everyone.
My name is Beth Taurasi. I am someone who is aspiring to be a
radio
operator. I've had too many friends try and pull me into the ham
radio world, so I gave in. ... Yeah, I sure did. I'd like to
introduce myself to the list. I know a bunch of blind ham nerds,
if I
should use such a flattering and funny little word to describe a
lot
of us, and they've encouraged me to learn as much as possible.
One of
my hammy friends from California gave me a bunch of Gordon West's
study material to look over, and since I've looked it over, I've
just
found myself so drawn into ham radio stuff I've wanted more of
it.
My hobbies other than learning and trying out ham radio include
playing music and singing. I love animals, and I hvae a
boyfriend
who's into the ham scene. I love cooking, though I don't get to
do it
very often. Dish use, honestly. I'm a resident of Denver,
Colorado,
and have gone to the Colorado Center for the Blind. If anyone
knows
me, just let me know, but if you don't know who I am, here I am.
Wish
me luck on getting a license, but here's a question I have for
all of
you:
How can I get involved in a club or activity to get my license
locally
if I can't fill out the email forms? I've tried to fill out
forms, but
there's the dreaded captcha on Colorado's ham radio websites. My
bf
Blake and I were looking at the sites together, and discovered no
audio captchas along with the visual image. What should I do?
Thanks, all.
Sincerely,
Beth Taurasi

NFB of Denver, Colorado,
P.S. You can write me privately for a phone number, but I won't
include it here for obvious reasons, but thanks.
