I GOT MY NOVICE LICENSE IN 1964 (WN6QMR) BUT DIDN'T UPGRADE THAT UNTIL 1968 OR SO...

THEN HAD A TECH LICENSE SINCE 1968 (WA6ISG) UNTIL THE GENERAL UPGRADE WHEN THE CODE
SPEED WAS REDUCED AND WE WERE UPGRADED A WHILE BACK...

IN 1969 WE ADVANCED THROUGH THE 3 RD CLASS, 2 ND CLASS, THEN GOT THE FIRST CLASS
WITH A RADAR ENDORSEMENT...  THEN WHEN THEY CHANGED US TO THE GENERAL RADIOTELEPHONE
CONTINUED ON WITH THAT...

IN OUR HAM RADIO ACTIVITIES WE MOSTLY STAY ON VHF AND UHF WITH INTERESTS IN GETTING ON 
THE HF BANDS TOO...  RTTY WAS ALWAYS IN THERE TOO AND HAVE A BUNCH OF RTTY STUFF...

AS FAR AS EMPLOYMENT, WE WORKED FOR SEVERAL AGENCIES REPAIRING TWO WAY RADIO AND ASSOCIATED
EQUIPMENT..
