[Paddlewise] Hams and Kayaks

	I just finally made a contact on VHF [non marine band the 140-148] and I
know there is at least one HAM on the list.  Unfortuneately I lost his
posts when win98 went down.

	It took me a year to be able to put together enough together in my head to
make a contact, and that contact lead me to a radio club Saturday.

	I am hoping to do "Field Day" [or at least part of it] Yaesu in hand,
while I paddle my Pursuit...  Heck, that was my intent a year ago...

	Anyway, any HAM on the list who would like to, I'd appreciate a note.
Near as I can tell, the Yaesu will probably work just as well as a marine
radio around here [Seattle Area] because the repeaters have [compared to
what I .. remember...] a very good coverage area!  I am also interested in
how kayaks have fit into Field Day...

	What the heck, my license is good for about 5 more years I think, I should
be able to be up to speed by then...:)

	Thanks,

		Tom...
