    RS> This is a good reminder that we're all human, built different,   
    RS> and have different strengths and obstacles to deal with. I   
    RS> struggle to remember that sometimes. Thank you for that.   
      
     Men's handwriting looks like they are stone drunk. Yet, the woman's   
   handwriting is beautiful.   
      
    RS> A couple regulars on my club net are blind, and I have to   
    RS> constantly remind myself that certain weekly topics are pretty   
    RS> exclusionary, so have to make adjustments.   
      
     Most of the folks that checkin to the HandiHams Radio Club Daily   
   Net (Monday through Friday) are blind.   
      
    DS>   Exactly. Besides, if you can't get on the air, why bother to get   
    DS> licensed in the first place??   
      
    RS> Very fair point!   
      
     Like it or not, the old guard is dying off...and we need to replace them   
   with new, younger operators.   
      
    RS> This is fantastic! Love it!   
      
     This is what I tell folks at the exam sessions that I do.   
      
    RS> I remember working a fella a year or so ago who was operating   
    RS> in the parking lot adjacent to the long-term care facility he   
    RS> resided in. Loved radio, but obviously couldn't have his gear   
    RS> inside, so his family had set up his gear for him and wheeled   
    RS> him across the street. The pure joy in that voice was   
    RS> incredible.   
      
     On one recent CQ200 Net, a guy checked in via his smartphone.   
        
    RS> This is a fantastic list! A few I've never heard of in there.   
    RS> Will have to scrub through it more thoroughly when I get a   
    RS> little more time. (I really shouldn't be doing echomail while   
    RS> I'm on the clock.) :)
