I played clarinet in the 6th grade -- hated it. I was a mathematician (programming a lot of mathematical applications and other things). And I still love mathematics because Mathematical Physics is my primary hobby (or, passion). Ham radio comes second except in the summer ham radio could count as third to woodworking as second.
I learned CW when I was 9 years old. By the time (much later) when I took my Novice test, I was probably copying more than the 13 wpm required of the General class. This is off-topic so far -- but my tone frequency of choice is 640 Hz. phil K7PEH > On Feb 28, 2015, at 3:49 PM, Phil Wheeler <[email protected]> wrote: > > I failed clarinet, but am a mathematician, or was.
