[SOC] Am I a ham?

[Tom McCulloch]

David and everyone else who responded,

  I'd like to thank everyone who took the time to help me out with my 
license question.  Well as it turns out I found a file hiding in a "safe 
place" entitled , of all things, "ham licenses".  In it I found just about 
every license the FCC ever issued to me, including the current one which 
expires in 2008!  So not only am I a ham but also I am a second class op!!!

  BTW also, in that envelope was my novice ticket from 1964-65  and my dad's 
novice license from 1965-66 (we studied together) so that was kinda neat as 
he's been a SK since 1974.

 So I had the current license after all, but my SOCedness brought back some 
great memories looking at my father's (WN2TYA) license.

Thanks es 73/72
Tom

So two atoms were walking down the street, when one of them shouted, "Shoot, 
I just lost an electron!"  "Are you sure?" the other one asked.  "Yes," he 
replied. "I'm positive."
