I guess I'm still a "kid": I took my Novice Morse test on Nov. 9, 1965, the night of the Great Northeast Blackout. My callsign, WN3EWV, arrived in the mail a month later, and I had my first QSO with Ron, VE2AOU, 60 years ago this April 11. Rig was a Knightkit T60 and R55A.<div><br></div><div>73 de&nbsp;</div><div>Gene Smar AD3F&nbsp;<br><br><div id="ymail_android_signature">Sent from my Radio Shack TRS-80 model 100 laptop</div> <br> <blockquote style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;"> <div style="font-family:Roboto, sans-serif; color:#6D00F6;">  </div> <div style="padding: 10px 0 0 20px; margin: 10px 0 0 0; border-left: 1px solid #6D00F6;"> <div id="yiv1130216357"><style><!--
