Thanks to the GMRS Community

I wanted to thank the GMRS community for being there .

At 70 I was diagnosed with Advanced Prostrate Cancer and during a 42 times stretch of Radiation the last two months you guys broke the monotony of it all. 

Been into Hand Helds for awhile on the Border but just as a means of communication between guys who were working or hunting with me but during the Radiation stuck with the you sleep or your on the couch I started playing with the radio and found the Tucson reapeater which living by myself was a real God send and a little entertainment since TV sucks 

That led to getting my license,and starting to read,watching YouTube to get on the net.

Now I got a base station and a radio for my jeep to install.

Want to say Thanks again for the new hobby and being there even though you didn't know it

Good Day Paul.

Thanks for sharing your story. We are sorry to learn of your diagnosis, but glad that the community has been able to provide you comfort as you progress through your treatments.

Glad to hear also that you got yourself a base radio to get connected with folks in your area. Staying connected with the outside world can be a great comfort.

I wish you peace and comfort with your new hobby, and the best outcome from your treatments.

Take care and stay in touch here on the forum.

Paul,

Glad the community could get you going in the new pursuit, and introduce you to an even wider community and hobby.

You're right.  I think we're all in good hands here at MYGMRS.com

Paul, you need to know there are thousands more who read this post and could not add any more to what others have given the encouragement you need.  From the thousands who read and could not find the words to say that have already been said...
