[ADXA] 60 years - thanks!

[Dennis Schaefer]

She got a license out of self defense, I think.  She was WA5RCK and went
thru the Novice year and then got her General.  She would actually get on
the air and operate some.  My dad refused to study for his license, saying
he was the “engineer”.   I was operating club station KA2DX in Japan in
72-74 and actually worked her on 15 CW a few times.
