I started out one day saying to the wife I'm going to check out ham radio,she had no clue what I was talking about. But I looked into it and came up someone who helped and his name was Joe (N3LBB)who pointed me in the direction of a man across the street, Al (W3TI) who was running classes in the Tamaqua High School. I came home from talking with Al and said to the wife we are going back to school,we got are novice and moved up to Tech plus.I started going to some of the hamfest and met alot of nice people and made some good freinds, The one that means the most is Bill (wy3k)he got me in to ham radio more than anybody, he helped me with my first Tnc and got me on packethe got me involved with Ares/races and became the Assistant Emergency coordinator for Schulykill County which he heads as the Ec.
