I appreciate what you are giving back.
Back in the "old days" before today's memorization, I taught many novice
classes. Some were even continuing education classes
I used to help out with tower and antenna work for locals as well as
storm chasing before two strokes, a heart attack, and severe Arthritis
put a stop to all that. I didn't like to see newbies as well as out of
shape old timers going up towers. Few realize just how dangerous
climbing and working "up there" can be. I even had to rescue a non
climber who went up, looked down and froze. I was thankful he hadn't
made it all the way to the antenna. As it was it took an hour to get him
down. I have trouble watching a non climber do that kind of work. I was
comfortable doing it and actually liked climbing. I would much rather do
it for them than see them taking risks they had no idea as to to how
dangerous what they were doing, was
It was a great example of "Ignorance is bliss" that could get them killed.

I simply try to "give back" for all that has been given to me,
starting with the hams in my home town who taught me radio,
electronics, and CW. And when I passed my license, gave me a rig!
