I too received my first call (this one) in 1952 while I was in high school. My buddies got the last of the W2s and I had to settle for one from the first batch of the K2s. Boy, was I steamed !! But I got even with the FCC....I worked for them for 30 years, retiring 11+ years ago. Neither they nor I emerged the same from that experience <g> !! Vic -- congrats on getting to 50 years. It didn't happen by accident. -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
