Long time no hear, Dave!

I got my interest in SWL radio and onto ham radio from a project in Boys
Life in the late 1940s.  It also helped that one of my father's buddies
was a radio repair tech during WW-II but Harry was not a ham himself.
Memories of NY's Cortlandt Street Radio Row, sadly the Ground Zero of
9/11 memory.
