>>  
>> Steve WA3IAO who introduced me to Amateur Radio in '67.
>>  
>> Jerry W3YVZ (SK) who taught me code, theory, and gave me my Novice Exam back in '69.
>> 
>> Joe N2CX (current Mentor & Elmer) who I was honored to meet 30 years ago when I joined the Engineering Staff at RCA Camden.
>> 
>> George N2APB who tolerates my software, digital, and NUE-PSK questions, and my unintentional interruptions (due to improper microphone keying) during Chat with the Designers (CWTD) sessions. George also offered wonderful and professional "kit assembly" services and assistance when I thought I was losing my sight and manual dexterity/fine motor control some time ago.   
>> 
>> These wonderful guys make Amateur Radio what it is today. They NEVER insult or berate those of us under their tutelage.

>> 73's, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to everyone...
