Maybe I'm over        -> excited on this.. but just had to say it:)              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. :-)                      --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Neptune's Lair - Olive Branch MS - winserver.org:1974 (1:116/18)    |
