off topic -----
fyi - if anyone is interested in becoming a Ham radio operator - now is the
time to do it. The FCC is considering a proposal that will change their
license structure - Current Technicians will be upgraded to the priviledges
of General without taking another test and without having to learn morse
code. This is a good thing! Ham radio is the only form of communication
that cannot be taken out by terrorist, natural disasters, etc. You may lose
some of the distance via repeaters but as long as you have a radio you can
reach another radio directly and they can be an invaluable communication
tool for Search & Rescue.
I will be happy to send more information to anyone who is interested or you
can go to www.qrz.com.
