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.) :)               30 lashes with a wet TNC cable (hi hi).              73,              Daryl, N5VLZ              ...
