Maybe that's where I have my luck, I give as much help as anyone in the area 
where and when I can. I haven't the last couple months with a few things 
that have been going on but now I'm finally settling in somewhere I'm going 
to stay for a while so I'm sure any antenna raising parties in the area I'll 
be there, any new hams that need assistance with programming a radio or 
something, I'll be there. I don't know every radio but I have software and 
cables for most of  the common radios commercial and ham so a lot of people 
come to me to at least have a couple frequencies put in their radio to get 
started and it wouldn't be the first time I spent a whole afternoon with one 
of these newer hams helping them get started. One enthusiastic new ham a 
couple years ago had me a full 14 hours.
