[ARC5] AM BCB Frequencies

[Ronnie Hull]

I got my start in 1963 with a Arvin solid state radio listening to broadcast stations. Mom bought me a map of the U.S. and push pins and I would make radio stations. 
In 1965 a leader in my scout troop loaned me a BC348 and opened up the world to me! Shortwave stations all over! Pirare shortwave stations!
I had to learn Morse code in Boy Scouts. One day I heard this slowwwwwaw code in 7mhz band and it just sounded like guys chatting .  
When I asked my scout leader who they were he said “those are hams” I asked him what a ham was and the rest is history!!
