Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I just read them all and they provided excellent
insight.

I wish I could make a more lengthly replies, but unfortunately strapped for
time at the moment.

I'm planning to attent the next local event and am quite excited to
(finally) become involved with this hobby.

(Its been something that I've wanted to do for a long time now.)

Thanks again! (Subscribed to this NG now and will be lurking, replying to
this thread when time permits, and hopefully in the future will have a
callsign to suffix here.) :^)
