So...are there any other amateur radio operators (hams) hanging around on this site?  An on-air renal net might be a cool thing to get going.  Let me tell you about the time I ordered and received my coveted Yaesu FT-817 back in 2001.  I had been drooling over it and just had to have one.  It was delivered right before my dialysis shift.  I took the thing with me to dialysis, unpacked it,  put batteries in it, read the manual just a bit, and soon CQ CQ on 440 from the chair.  It may have been a first, ham radio from a dialysis chair but it did happen.  I'm not sure what the staff and fellow patients thought but I had a great time. Of course it was more fun after I got it home where I could use real antennas but it sure broke up the monotony on that day. ;D
