New to the LUG, yes, new to the discussions? -  hardly.
For those who have heard of ham radio, I was once "NEW" to the 
Denton repeater.  Not new to ham radio. Not new to the subjects discussed.
Ticked of my share of country club good ol' boys here, too.  

You should raise the dues. Keeps the riff-raff out.  But dammit, they 
keep coming back.  Have to move to a new suburb........that'll keep 'em out
for a while............
Cheers, 
Walt
