   This is a good reminder that we're all human, built different, and have   
   different strengths and obstacles to deal with. I struggle to remember that   
   sometimes. Thank you for that.   
      
   A couple regulars on my club net are blind, and I have to constantly remind   
   myself that certain weekly topics are pretty exclusionary, so have to make

   incredible.   
      
    DS>   I have prepared both a PowerPoint Presentation, and a PDF file on    
    DS> "Operating Internet Radio". I cover modes such as:   
       
   This is a fantastic list! A few I've never heard of in there. Will have to
