My my! How can anyone get a nice new rig like a Kenwood 2000 and not hook it up immediately??? I'm like a kid at Christmas when I get new stuff like that. It's hooked up before I get it home!! Anyway, welcom Lowell. I have been a ham since 1961 and operate all bands when my work schedule permits. I operate a braille transcription business in my home which keeps me quite busy. I'm a CW fanatic and like traffic nets. I'm an Assistant Section Manager in CT. Please forgive the fact that I'm a bit behind on comments. Haven't been in this account since Wednesday. Have a nice weekend everyone! 73/88 Anne West, K1STM _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
