Hey all:
Firstly this is not a club.  We do not have strict parameters of which we 
need to abide.
While some threads go wandering into many different areas, especially 
technical topics, we primarily discuss technologies having to do with ham 
radio, and blind hams specifically.  Blind hams use all sorts of access 
technology in their daily lives, and often it is in some way related to the 
hobby, or their pursuit of all things amateur radio in nature.
And guess what, you might actually learn something if you read the posts 
that aren't always directly related to a transceiver, antenna or other piece 
of equipment.

    This is taken from the Welcome message new subscribers receive.

"This is not an attempt at censorship, but an attempt at keeping the=

list on track relative to it's stated purposes, which are the discuss=

of amateur radio in general and the blind community's participation i=

the hobby in particular.  I am somewhat flexible here--I will allow=

discussion, to a point, of most anything having to do with radio and/=

should be it's primary use."

    I unsubscribed some time ago because this was not respected and I=

see its not changed. Sad for many of you could provide a wonderful=

resource. I posted one message since I rejoined and got a half answer=

and nothing more.

    I guess I do not fit into this "club" even tho I am a ham radio=

operator who is also blind. Maybe I will look up the definition for=

"blind ham" later and see if I can somehow understand what it is I am=
