GM OMs;

I had a general class when I joined Air Force MARS.

I was 16 years old in 1968. I'm 63 now.

I was invited over to one of the Net Control Station Ops' shack.

He showed me a 15 and 19. He took the covers off of them. Then,
he put them in local loop and we had a QSO. Then he punched some
tapes of our QSO and played them.

It was like uncut heroine!

He introduced me to some of the younger guys who helped me get
a 15. There was almost NO ONE around who knew much. They told
me to build the T.U. in the ARRL Handbook. I got it working on
receive. A few weeks later I was transmitting.

I was hooked!

UE,
K2EAA - TONY
