[TVARC] ARRL sweepstakes November 15

[Michael Bornstein]

Thank you all. I looked at my QRZ page and I did see 1961. I’m not sure if
that’s based on fact or just a guess. I know I had a technicians license in
high school (My high school had a Gonset G 50 and I spent many lunch hours
working the New York City area on 6 m) and I graduated high school in 1962.
Mike.
