[BARC-List] introduction

> I just passed my Tech test on the 11th.

Congratulations Nora!

> live in Boston, about 1 mile from South Station,

You must live either close to where I work on the South Boston
waterfront or on my "short cut" from Dorchester to there via Pleasure
Bay & the Farragut Statue.  When the wind blows hard, we can really
use Skywarn reports on the Day Blvd and side-street tree damage, as
old Dorchester Heights is the second most exposed portion of the city.

> so I got an  HT for my first
> radio, the Yaesu VX7R.

That's a very popular radio. My wife has the previous model, the VX5R.
 You should have no problems with the downtown repeaters with t at!
>From the top of the hill, you'll even get 1 to 3 of the 220 repeaters
with it's 300mW (23dBm) on 220. I might just "give" myself one for
Xmas. Happy Holidays and welcome aboard!
