    New heartache

    Capricci,  A year ago my fiance left me and left her whole family for some guy she met online and went to Texas with him.

    Thanks folks for the warm welcome. Looks like I'll have to make plans to visit Quartzsite to meet some of you and check out the Ham events and fellow Ham operators. My mom lives in Albuquerque so I won't be to far of the beaten path. :D I don't have my rig as of yet, although I have a really...
