How sweet. That's really sweet of you, Doug. I know plenty of
guys in 6 territory, it was, as you recall, a guy in California
who got me started. In fact, I am hoping to be in the air by
January. New year, new me. Yo know. :)
Beth
P.S., and oh yeah, 73.

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.
