[Ham-Mac] didja notice...

[richard radke]

It seems all of us of a certain age had a similar experience.  Mine  
was Bob Horst 3 blocks over.  After putting together a Heathkit  
GR-91, and a few visits to Bob's house, he let me "play" with his  
Drake 2B.  I was hooked.  Within a year I was licensed and burning up  
the airwaves with a Knight T-60 and 3 xtals (1 for 80 and 2 for 40)  
as WN0MUD.

Thanks for bringing back the memories Mike.
