This year marks my 65^th as a ham, still have my ORIGINAL novice  receiver, my dad's BC-348Q which was his very first project. He bought while I was still in diapers. Wouldn' trade all my BA stuff for anything.

Well, I'm joining your club.  68 years a ham and also liking the Boatanchors more than anything else, as my website illustrates.

This month marks my 70th year as a ham.  Just wanted to tell somebody, and for the last 20 years BAs have been my favorite part of hamming which would of course include ARC5 gear.

Thanks for the bandwidth,
