   Hello Daryl!

   Would the turn out for a ham license be that large? I can't     
   imagine the hobby to be so popular among new people.   
      
   Perhaps those people would enjoy a How To BBS workshop.

   I would take them in a heartbeat (sans atrial flutter).

   Your body is finding an adjustment as you work to avoid the     
   foods that trigger problems.  Keep that up.  Eventually, the     
   headaches would go away if you honor the limits that your body     
   can cope with right now.   
      
   At one point I was getting what someone else told me they call     
   silent headaches. It's when you suddenly see double-vision or     
   strange white specks in front of your eyes or can't see quite     
   right out of one eye.   
      
   I was getting the double-vision version. The episodes would     
   last a few seconds.  I started documenting their occurences and     
   noticed that they were reoccurring sooner between episodes and     
   lasting longer each time.  Unrelated to that, I simply started     
   to eat low-carb, low cal, high fats, no processed foods of any     
   kind, and no sugar, to reduce my nearly 200lbs of weight to     
   something more suitable for my frame at 175lbs.  During the     
   course of that eating plan, the silent headaches disappeared.      
   I only had one reoccurence when I briefly got lazy and decided     
   to eat smoked sausages and picnic meats for a while (the kind     
   that are pre-cooked and can be eaten right after opening).  I     
   didn't quite make the connection with those meats right away,     
   but when the double-vision returned, I knew that was the only     
   difference in my eating.  I learned my lesson.  I haven't had a     
   silent headache episode for years now.  Bonus.. a few other     
   ailments disappeared after I changed my eating plan for the     
   better.
