Good show and many, many more. I think I can imagine how you feel. My first license arrived on October 14, 1967. October 14 was the day Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier in the X-1. That Novice license was dated October 12 - Columbus Day. Talk about opening new worlds! Next October it will be 40 years for me. Despite all that has happened, it doesn't seem that long. 73 de Jim, N2EY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
