[SOC] Am I a ham?

[Fred Jensen]

Great memories are not related to SOC.  Actually, most SOC activities 
occur on the air, but due to our second class propensities, we tend to 
extend them to life.

Congrats on finding them and enjoy the memories.  I am now going to look 
through our files to see if I can find the "Ham Radio" folder.

Full Disclosure:  Andrea said, "Get your butt up there and sort through 
that very full file cabinet."  Who knows what I'll find.
