[GCARC] Don't Give up on Radio

[kbfrank3 at verizon.net]

Randy KC3VCC,
	It would be a shame to give up on HF after earning your license.   In my early days, I used to dangle a wire out of my apartment window and used an antenna tuner.
If you can't put up a good antenna at home, how about tagging along with someone who does Parks On The Air?
	Or maybe even squeezing it into your car?

I’m not going for awards.
I’ll never get them as I don’t even have an antenna up for my radio.
In fact, I’m probably going to sell my DX10 and everything else since I can’t use it This was more about the memory.
I got to speak to 4 little scouts about 10 years of age, who were thousands of miles away.
It was a cool experience.
One I had with a $20 handheld.
My DX10 cost me over $1600 and I have yet to use it.
It’s just collecting dust.
Time to let it go.
