[CW] ARRL QSLs Awards Wallpaper Certificates

[Radio K0HB]

I’m 79, but only 57 years on the air.

To me, the fun is on the air, not at the mailbox.

I’ve run 1 watt and I’ve run 1500 watts, and points in between.

It’s all fun, from legacy modes like Morse and Phone, to the newer
“exotics” in the digital realm.

Ham radio, getting better all the time.
