pennastogey, welcome to Radio Reference; the one stop shop for everything radio.
Sooooooo... How did you find us in the vast medium called cyberspace? Also, what interests do you have in the radio hobby and if you already have some form of radio gear, let us know what it is.
Don't hesitate to ask questions. And there is one
very important rule around here about asking questions:
There are absolutely NO stupid questions!
So feel free to ask away my friend. One or more of us here at Radio Reference will be glad to answer anything you want to know.
Cheers! Dave K4EET
