[GreenKeys] SURVEY

[sdaitch at kuw.ibb.gov]

Bob,

Vacation in DaNang, huh?

Well, in answer to the survey says report, I was first licensed in
about the same time frame as well, as WN4MZZ, then Conditional 
a year or two later, as WA4MZZ.  (I just don't have access to 
all those files with the old license docs.)

A buddy of mine and I learned the FCC was doing FCC commercial exams 
over at Augusta Tech (GA) and we got a Q&A manual and crammed for it.
Since he and I could both drive, that would have been about maybe 
summer, 1964.

I passed elements 1, 2, and 3, so I got the 2nd Phone right off the
bat, and then sometime later, by summer of 1966, I had passed element
4, which gave me the First Phone and the Ship Radar, can't remember 
the element number.

About three years ago, I upgraded the ham ticket to Extra.

73 Sheldon
WA4MZZ
