[K6NCG] now on the list

[Dave Sublette]

I think everything is straightened out with my membership now… Thanks to W6RW and all.  Yes, K6NCG membership is one of the highlights of my ham career. I celebrate the 60th anniversary of receiving my first ticket on June 22, 1957, this year.

The K6NCG hamshack was home for me when I went through ET ‘A’ school.  I still have contact with a couple of the guys who were in the shack at the same time I was.  

I made the first QSO in my father’s logbook from K6NCG on 40M.  He was WN9GRF, now SK.  The K6NCG QSL I sent him hung on his wall until he passed away in 1999, even though his novice ticket expired and he never upgraded.  

I phone patched every weekend to my fiancé, planning our wedding.  I left TI on May 4, 1963 and was married to her on May 11.  This May we celebrate 54 years of marriage.

You can see why K6NCG remains close to may heart.

73 all,

Dave, K4TO
