[Elecraft] New Kit and old age

Mon Nov 4 15:22:00 2002

OK for the oldest, how about the youngest?  Somehow I don't believe it's
going to be a teen-ager saving his money from a paper route.  That's how I
got my first kit, a Johnson Adventurer.  If I was doing well in school my
OM would match me half way for any radio stuff I wanted.  All lead to
studing physics and sciences, along with the math (eccchh!) to get me to
college to get my engineering degree.

It would be nice to have a couple of pics on the Elecraft web page of the
oldest and youngest, along with their rigs.
