So how far back do we want to go in these photos?

That is me facing right yeah that skinny kid still holds the record of
being the youngest ham ever to transmit from YV0! (yeah just a 17 year old
kid dxing on one of the places that is always in the top most wanted dxcc,
right before I came to the USA for college), next to me is YV5RW...

or maybe Dad (YV5ENI) should have never let me in the shack as a kid? I
mean my wife says that it is his fault for my expensive hobby :)
