I have already bookmarked relevant sites, so am ready after next week. 
(grins)  After I read thru the Gordon West book (great reading too) I went 
back and looked at all the links that were listed.  The FCC site is among 
the lucky ones I saved.

    As to the environment at the convention, I will try to get the local 
repeaters and save them.  I go to Portland fairly often so it wont hurt to 
do this.  Am thinking I should have ordered a programming cable too.  Hmmm. 
I see them on eBay, and they come from China.  Are they any good?  Be about 
$20 with shipping.  (back to reading the manual)
