[Lowfer] GROUP ROUNDTABLE

[Zack Widup]

Yeah, I got my Extra in 1971 at the FCC office in Chicago. The
intimidation factor alone was reported to knock 5 wpm off your code
speed, so I was told to be able to solidly copy 25 wpm from W1AW
before taking the exam. So I did - and passed. But it was a day to
remember.

73, Zack W9SZ
