Thanks for posting Dave..... WB8TSQ has been one of our "Elmers".... experienced Hams take new comers under their wing because well there is a lot to know and hands on learning works way better than just sitting down with a stack of manuals....

I'm a guy that back in the day never figured out how to program a VCR..... trying to get the computer to interface with a radio was a bang my head against the wall kind of experience..... Dave gets along fine with computers.... He retired a few years ago and built his dream observatory a few ridge tops over from me.

Check out his web page here

My wife and I have given him a place to shoot , deer hunt and taught him how to butcher venison.... Dave has helped reduce the amount of time I spend wanting to bang my head against the wall when the computer and radio don't play nice together.....

You met people you likely never would have when you check out a local Ham club...

Please don't feed the trolls!
