Bob,

  While in some respects it may seem like it, some days, it's very
difficult for me to get around the apartment...let alone elsewhere. Some
days, it's very difficult to get in and out of my car.

  Society is too litigious...they'll sue at the drop of a hat. If they
sued for public flatulence, everyone would be under the jail.

 BS> a typical wi-fi router radiates.

  Unfortunately, there is no D-Star Repeater in central Arkansas that is
on the Gateway. The one they have is available to folks with D-Star radios
only. With all the trees around me, I can't even hit a wide area coverage
analog repeater on Shinall Mountain, west of Little Rock.

  Plus, with not even getting $1100 a month in disability, I can't afford
to get a D-Star HT, a DV4Mini, a Raspberry Pi, etc. I joke that "I don't
know much about a Raspberry Pi, but a pineapple upside down cheesecake
sounds awfully good". (hi hi)
