Sure, you say that now. You may change your mind once you get to know us!

But in the mean time, welcome to The Island and to amateur radio!

Got a wild hair last year and went for it. Got my tech and then my general the following week.
I have pretty much just hung out on 2 meter, but eventually plan to get an HF rig and go play with the big kids
I am originally from IL, but I now call Colorado home.

nice to meet you!

Welcome to the Isles! Has the bartender arrived yet with your drink?

Welcome, Ali!

Welcome, settle down, get a drink, and enjoy the place ;)

Welcome to ham radio, Island style.

Congratulations on your Escape from Illinois! I'm completing my escape from the Bloomington area in mid-August to Eastern Washington...

Don't be shy about posting opinions or threads. Bear in mind this is a cantankerous bunch (Me? Sweet li'l old me?), so the more pointed the post, the more pointed the response may be. I have spears in the Island locker for my "special friends"....

Oh, BTW, you don't need to capitalize ham. We aren't THAT impressed with our bad selves.

Welcome to the Island Ali....
