[ADXA] ARRL Certif Too!

[k5cs]

And I received a 40 year cert today in the mail!  I remember it like 
yesterday...John Evans took me to the Little Rock Hamfest in 1985.  
Larry Price was there representing the ARRL.  I had just passed my 
novice test a few days earlier and I ended up letting Larry talk me into 
a lifetime membership.  Sure glad he did.  Oh, and I also bought a Yaesu 
2M HT there although it would be a few months before I could use it.  
All water under the bridge now....

-Charles, K5CS
