>> Hey Gents,
>> 
>> I am about a week away from my one year as a licensed amateur. I want to thank all of you for allowing me to be a part of the crew. It has been a blast!  I have been totally enjoying this fun hobby and it is made even cooler because of the camaraderie and friendships that I have made with each of you. 
>> 
>> This hobby has it all. Satisfaction of completion (like awards, getting that new grid square/entity), technical challenges (getting the nut to tune), intellectually exploration (debate about antennas, baluns, solar cycles, etc), and even physical labor components (tower erections, field day, antenna mods & moves).  All in all you can't ask for a more interesting and intriguing hobby. 
>> 
>> Anyhow as this first year comes to a close, I am appreciative and grateful for friends and family who are always there to lend a hand or give a gentle word of advice. I hope and pray that each of you and your families have an awesome holiday    season and as we look onto the new year ahead that we continue to have new accomplishments, overcome new technical and intellectual challenges and erect some new towers (Monroe, others).
>> 
>> Warm Regards,
