[HARC] Antenna help for blind ham

[Wa3pzo at aol.com]

Looking for some help.
 
 
We'll come up with some people to help you. It may be mid August as several 
 of the people I am thinking of are going on vacation over the next few 
weeks. We  can do a survey of your property and see what will be needed. get 
the antennas.  etc so we're ready to go when the time comes. 

Do you have any radio equipment yet?
I'm not familiar with equipment that has audio assistance. 
If you don't have a contact for that, _handiham.org_ (http://handiham.org/) 
 has a lot of info for the blind.  I'm sure they would be able to suggest a 
radio and equipment that would make it  easier for you. 

The bands are active with plenty of activity. 
Also you asked about paying for services. None of us would take any money  
for helping you out. You pay for all equipment, parts, etc that are needed.  
We're all volunteers. If at the end you want to make a donation to the Club 
 that's ok, but it's entirely up to you.

Hi Bob


Thanks for the reply. Call - n3rak, location - Red Lion Rd & Haldeman  
Aves. Not sure what I want to buy but I want total compatibility. Dipole  
probably best for antenna with matchbox.

Hi,

What is you callsign? Where do you live? Do you have any equipment or  
antennas yet?


Bob

Hi 
 I am a blind and partially hearing impaired.  I spent a lot of time 
studying for 
 my technicians license and wound up also passing the general class ticket. 
 
 Morse code which I can hear was required at that te.
 
 I was wondering if the bands are still active currently?  If so could I 
impose 
 to obtain some help and guidance in setting up mr ham shack?
 
 I would like to attend a couple of your meetings too.
 
 Info greatly appreciated.  By the way, I would be glad to pay for any 
help.  
 Passing the test does not mean I have immediate understanding.
 
 Thanks
 Joel
