[Johnson] Done For Tonight & for awhile

[richard]

Hello Robert.
Thanks for jumping in & what you have said is what I had been hoping for as I just don't know any Hams around here that even want to work on anything so I am glad to hear from you & maybe I will be like you in time..
I have more reply to answer but I do Thank you.
Richard
