All I have to do now is to: choose a transceiver - choose a tuner -
choose an antenna - find someone to errect it - get a log book - and
I'm sure there are lot's of other things ..... Anyway .... now I've
shared my excitement with you all - I feel much better.

Congratulations Simon. Hope to see you on the air someday.

Simon, good luck to you, and you should spend more time on the air than
you spend here. Get away from this web site - the rec.radio.amateur.*
newsgroups are mostly counter-productive. You will find people here
who, well, don't get on the air (I don't know how else to say it).

You should go work CW, work voice, spend some time on SSTV, and then on
PSK, and try some of the funky digital modes, and of course, do some
SSB, but make it so much fun that you can't even explain to your friends
why you spend every weekend doing it.

You will see -- it's the best hobby you have ever picked.

Take care, and all the best, and 73

Dave
