Beth,

Congratulations, and hope you gt that ticket.

As for the captchas, there is an easy solution.  Download the Firefox web 
browser, then go to Webvisum.com and install the plug-in.  Make sure under 
Firefox Options that you have it set to display images.

Set Webvisum to log-in automatically when you start Firefox.  If you need an 
invitation code, just send me a note at hamsteve64 at gmail dot com and I'll 
forward one to you.  Then, when you go to a site that has a captcha, just 
press control-alt-6 and wait thirty seconds.  Webvisum will put the captcha 
solution in your clipboard; just paste it into the form on the Colorado Hams 
site and you'll be all set.

Steve, K8SP
