    LJS> Thank you so much for the detailed reply. I will definitely look you up   
    LJS> on QRZ!   
      
     There is a hyperlink there for links to several files, including:   
      
   1) Excel Spreadsheets in the 4 main US Time Zones (Eastern, Central, Mountain,    
   and Pacific) of selected D-Star, D-Rats, and Echolink Nets (over 200 nets in    
   a month).   
      
   2) PDF files related to ham radio, including my ham radio bio, and selected   
   ham radio humor.   
      
    LJS> HamTestOnline is great - that's how I passed my tech exam. I like how   
    LJS> it helps you build confidence and presents the test as you can expect   
    LJS> it on exam day. I was making progress on the General portion but things   
    LJS> got a bit busy here with the kids back in school, etc. I have a 9 year   
    LJS> old and a 6 year old so as you can imagine things are a bit crazy !   
      
     Life does get in the way of our hobbies...although at times, I wondered if   
   it actually was "Do You, Ham...take Radio...to be your lawfully wedded    
   spouse??" (hi hi). The beauty of HamTestOnline is that they offer a money   
   back guarantee if you fail the exam -- normally, once you buy a study guide,   
   it's YOURS...no refunds. As a Volunteer Examiner (VE) Team Leader, I highly   
   recommend it to everyone coming for a license exam.   
      
    LJS> I'm going to start setting aside some evening time after the kids fall   
    LJS> asleep to push through the studying. I'm very interested in exploring   
    LJS> digital modes on the HF bands. I've also had a few great phone QSO's on   
    LJS> the 10 meter band including a few occaisions where I hit South America!   
      
     With winter, the HF bands tend to open up more...but as fast as they open   
   up, they can close up tighter than "a frog's butt underwater" (hi hi). Due to   
   medical issues, I have to operate "internet only", but even with doing so, I   
   am on the air daily...mostly for nets, but at times, for sked requests. This   
   means that my license "isn't just a sheet of paper".
