We might be, I’m going to have to go back and count them up. Certainly, when we reach that milestone, that will give us a terrific reason for one of our famous and fun-filled parties! The topics we’ve covered over the past six years have been almost too numerous and varied to name, but one topic we haven’t devoted an entire call to is the hobby of amateur radio. Specifically, what I’m addressing here is: how in the world can people who are blind or low vision tackle such a complex and diverse avocation? I’m here to tell you that, we absolutely can and with far less technical know-how and financial investment than you might imagine. I’ll soon be celebrating my one-year anniversary as a licensed ham and have made some very good friends within the amateur radio community who also happen to be blind. Many have spent years in the hobby and certainly know a great deal more than I do. I still have so much to learn. With this in mind, I’ve invited some of my fellow blind hams to join us on Thursday morning. They will have a great deal of knowledge to add to the lively discussion I know we will have.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xxydpa0b28d76yiv8142210762ydp1f708a72yiv7079407128xmsonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=xxydpa0b28d76yiv8142210762ydp1f708a72yiv7079407128xmsonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Thanks in advance to the folks who will pop in from the Blind-hams community and the COURAGE KENNY HANDIHAM Program.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=xxydpa0b28d76yiv8142210762ydp1f708a72yiv7079407128xmsonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=xxydpa0b28d76yiv8142210762ydp1f708a72yiv7079407128xmsonormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>We aren’t going to get too deep into the weeds with this Thursdays ‘Rise and Shine topic, so don’t worry about the conversation being more than a basic introduction of what one can enjoy when pursuing this wonderful pastime.
