Hi Gary,

If you have ham neighbors, by all means ask for help. That's been in our 
tradition for as long as I've been in ham radio. When I was 14, local 
hams taught me CW and radio and electronics fundamentals; by the time I 
was 15 I had a license, and Andy, W8IEQ, gave me a transmitter. I have 
an awfully nice antenna farm here, but I couldn't have done much without 
a LOT of help from other hams. I'm a member of NCCC, a great contesting 
club, and we're always helping each other out.
