This must be what I'm a Ham today !!!  Reading these accounts makes me
wish I was a Ham back  in 1957.  I guess it was enough to be born in
1957.  I wonder how many other Hams were born in the IGY ?

of 1957, and the winter of 1957-1958, the sky would glow a
pinkish-orange almost every night.  It looked as though we were living
inside of a neon tube!  Some nights it was bright enough to read by.
People were running crazy in the streets saying that the world was
coming to an end.
