Thank you Jay for being part of the solution instead of part of the problem.
I'll let Gordo crank out the license holders, but after they get tired 
of the
usual chat on the repeaters, I've been holding seminars and workshops
for people on a variety of topics. From old (tube) radio repair/service
to digital communications methods.

Sometimes I'm sneaky about it. I'll bring my 44  year old Motorola VHF
base station to the club meetings and let people talk to the repeater on the
"200 pound hand held"

And Gene, get a grip over there. I'm sure it was an intentional "typo" to
leave the G out of my name, but it's neither clever nor original.
