: and to stay off the repeater if you hear a net come on (unless you're
: participating) or if there is some priority traffic.

Doug you sure have a great way with words. Wonderful to see someone who
really has the true spirit of ham radio...no FLAMES. Are you on packet?
I would have considered suggesting 6 Meters...but the cost may still be a
bit prohibitive for some. Especially buying new equipment out of the
box. I am currently a no-code tech...who has found the wonderful new
world of 6 meters. (I am also studying my code...for upgrade purposes.)
I just couldn't resist telling you how very refreshing your helpful ideas
are to an obviously new ham. THANKS...hope I see you around in the near
future.
