Hello from Florida
« on: March 22, 2018, 08:57:59 PM »
Hello;

Name:  Mike
Age: 60
Occupation: RN (in diabetic wound clinic at a VA hospital).

Married 32 years, no kids.  We live near Gainesville, FL (25 years), we are both
originally from the Finger Lakes region of NY.
I was a radio operator in the Army for 3years, but Morse code was being fazed out even back then.  So I never did much of that.  I recently got interested in ham radio and passed the General exam last October.

Welcome cooter!

First and foremost, congratulations on attaining your General Ticket  :dancingBanana:  :thumbsUp:

We have a small informal net 1-2 times a month so stand by for the next SOI.

Interesting eclectic group of folks here from all over the globe. I am totally stoked to see an RN join the group. An added bonus is your are in the 60 year-old range. I too am there along with a handful of other folks on the site. Watch out for JoJo though, as he has told us he is older than dirt!  ;)

The sites archives has seven years worth of great stuff in it, so check it out.

Welcome cooter!  :cheers:
