Hi Beth.
This is Gary from WNY.  Most of the folks on the list have already given 
some good resources.  Hamdiham is the best source by far.  I became a ham 
back in 1996 and have been enjoying it ever since.  Getting involved with a 
local club for they can be a resource in the future in case you need antenna 
work.  I can see that you have gained alot already.  You are useing 73 
correctly.  Some will use it with a 's on the end and it is not needed.

Subject: Hello and introduction


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

P.S. You can write me privately for a phone number, but I won't
include it here for obvious reasons, but thanks.
