Joe:

Very kind of you to offer, especially as a new member.

Speaking of which, in case you missed it, there are quite a few SF Communications Sergeants on this site who are verified QPs. They were building radios out of scrap metal and hammering out 15/15 GPM while dogdging bullets and returning fire with the other hand before your parents thought about having you. Many of them are still active HAM radio operators.

If you think about it, most people learn more with their mouths closed than open, so you might consider digging through old threads looking for advice you can use, rather than assuming that you are an expert based on three years as an AF radio operator.

Just some advice from an old SF guy.
