   I don't think it's possible to be over excited. :-) Everyone geeks on   
   something. :-)   
      
   I still have just an HT, but was excited the first time I connected to a local    
   repeater! I've since acquired a hand me down HF rig & home made antenna, but    
   haven't hooked it up yet... Have to get a power supply and get it setup. :-)
