Hello, Mortar!

Replying to a message of Mortar M. to Sean Dennis:

You're right.  In my case, I am always curious so I learned quickly.  Case in point: making antennas.  That's one of my favorite things about being a ham.  But yes, I have seen new hams ask some quiestions about things they should already know,.,.

 MM> The kicker is I usually know the answers...and I'm
 MM> not even a ham!

Maybe you should become a ham.  I think you'd make a great elmer,
