[OZAPRS] New member of list

[Liz]

I've just signed up to the list.
I've been licensed since 1983 but seduced by computers and been off-air
for many years, during which time our local radio club died. 
Recently the OM and I joined another radio club which has expanded to
cover our area and bought a new radio.

I'm going to set up an iGate here at home - we need a multi-element
antenna to reach the nearest digipeater - and this will help with
tracking balloon launches up the road

So far I've done some reading, sought out some gear and will be back on
this list to ask advice.
