Robert,
I'm well aware of the limitations of trying to enjoy this hobby on Soc Sec, 
since that is what I live on. My wife won't let me spend any of "her" money 
on my "exorbitantly expensive ridiculous hobby!" She did, however, buy me a 
digital multimeter with a transistor check function, frequency counter, and 
20 A DC capacity. I thought that was awfully nice of her. It sure comes in 
handy. I'm just jealous, that's all. I sure would like to have an 
oscilloscope! Anybody know how I can locate one cheap? I think I'll check 
out E-Bay. I recently got burned badly on E-Bay and I'm now a little leery 
of buying there. How do you go about finding local hamfests? I know there 
are a lot of ham guys around here but I don't know any of them personally. 
Thanks for any help. Regards.
Paul Brodie
