There have been a few other newish HAM's pop up on one of the repeaters, so
I guess I'm hitting it at a good time.

I was in my wife's truck yesterday and I don't have her mobile rig installed
yet, so I popped open EchoLink on my iPhone just to see... Went to a repeater
in Alabama I had made a contact on and 'chewed' for about 30 minutes with
two different people local to that area. :-)
