Hi Paul, Congratulations on such effective "staying power"...! Good on you.
The SK column in our "TCA" magazine (put out by "The Radio Amateurs of Canada"---our version of the ARRL) regularly lists the actual ages of those Hams who have sadly vacated this earth, in favour of that great big Ham shack in the sky---and it's really quite amazing at how many of us ripen to the ranks of the late 80's & 90's...! I guess radio amateurs are into something good---as you have discovered, I am sure, there... Congrats again---and here's to the NEXT 78 years...! :o) ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ On 2015-01-19, at 8:41 PM, Paul Elliott wrote: > Today I have the extremely good fortune to celebrate 78 years of being a > licensed ham.
