[AMRadio] Old Novice Days

[ronnie.hull]

 I got my general in 1970 and I got the very first WB Call in Shreveport. My 
friend Jerry got WA5ZZL about 3 months before I got my general.  Your mom had 
to have gotten her general after 1970.
I remember how badly I felt to be the first one in shreveport with a 'WB' 
call.. LOL
