Hi Richard. Ok now I saw my first HR10 .it was with a Cheyanne

I put my foot in my mouth. Sorry about that. I used to live
in Toronto, just south of the CNIB and I helped with a few antenna
partys over at homes of a white cane operator. He was a real friend
and I still hear him on out in Alberta sometimes.

Same thing here at CNIB, the sponsors do a great job helping with
logs, and we have a few up here, that I help despite age and medical
problems to keep on the air. I love the fun times they bring to
ham radio.
