Whoa, Anthony.  Did I just see this right?  I don't mean to say 
anything, but ... could there possibly be ... you have an iphone 
5?  I'm hoping to get that and my ham license.  Boy, I'm just 
unstopable today am I? :)
73,
Beth

Hi Beth;

Welcome to the list.

I started out with an analog Barecat scanner.

I listened to the local repeaters.

I made friends and everyone was more than helpful.

All this took place in the 90's when the internet was not as 
handy as it is t=
oday.
For this reason, club forms were a little out of my reach.

However, everyone on this list is extremely encouraging.

I'm sure you will do just fine.

Keep us posted.

 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.
