Fwd: Re: [R-390] Hello New to list

Thanks again for the good advice. I think now I'll just keep my eye open for 
some thing local. I see there will be a Ham fest on 9-14 about 130 miles 
from me so I'll go check it out. I've never been to one and it sounds like 
it would be fun even if I don't find what I'm looking for. Heck if nothing 
else, I may get a lead on where a good one may be in the central Texas 
area:)
