HG>GM Daryl,   
      
   Hi, Holger,   
      
   HG>Ham radio is a hobby because it's allowed to cost money to pursue it.   
      
     Plus, work is that dirty 4 letter word that one has to do to get money   
   to pursue things like new "toys".    
      
   HG>Well, it's up to you how you prioritize your time. Personally I am active   
   HG>on "the air" and only put in an hour or so into the BBS.   
      
     I think I spend 2 hours a day on the BBS...unless there are   
   thunderstorms in the area...then the BBS work "has to wait". The amount   
   of time I devote to the nightly nets is about 1 to 2 hours...sometimes   
   as much as 3, depending if I check into more than one net, and stay   
   around for it.   
      
     On the BBS, I do the messages first (via QWK Packet), then I play   
   several of the doorgames. Some of them help to keep my mind sharp.   
      
   HG>I chose this housing on the grounds that I wwould be allowed antennas.   
      
     Unfortunately, I didn't have that luxury.
