[chirp_users] Introduction & Question

[Richard B. Emerson]

I guess being a newbie is showing, huh. I figured that seeing the call 
beats the location. OTOH, if I do make an initial call, it's my call 
(KC3DOO listening) or whoever I'm talking with, not the repeater's call. 
Hmmm... gotta think about that. At least CHIRP makes it much easier to 
enter settings. If ever there was a manual designed to confuse and 
obfuscate, the UV-5etc. manual is it.

PS If anyone is interested in operating in the Bahamas, there's no 
reciprocity. The "license" application process isn't that hard. The 
woman who handles the applications very helpful. Drop me a note and I 
can fill in the details. I assume there are no repeaters, except maybe 
on New Providence (the island Nassau's on). Otherwise, it's operating 
simplex.
