Yeah - but my HT won't do HF. :-) There are several active 'old timers'
in the local club, and one of them already mentioned passing down
some old equipment to me to help get me started. Another guy in a club
down the road said, "don't go and pay a lot for a new antenna - I have
several old pieces where I've upgraded - we'll work something out."

 DS> But, you can become a Volunteer Examiner (VE),

Yeah, I wouldn't mind getting into that to help 'give back' to the
hobby. The local club we joined has SEVERAL VE's already, and they
are known for giving exams at local fests, so I don't think they
"need" more right now, but they will eventually. :-)
