[QUOTE="LL, post: 151808, member: 95"] My dad was a radio hamster his entire life. Got his license in his early teens and was still active until he died in 1999. 70 years on the air. Could fist 40 wpm dead clean, and kept every DX card he ever received. I grew up with a 40 meter beam tower bolted to the wall of my bedroom, and a 10 meter vertical outside the window. I can still here him digging through the QRN, calling, [i]CQ, CQ, CQ... W0NGW... Whiskey Zero Never Gonna Work... CQ, CQ, CQ..."[/i] after the sun went down. He also smoked a pipe nearly as long. Got me started on my 20th birthday with a Pioneer calabash, a group 4-ish Peterson billiard, a half pound of BS 759, and a half pound of straight VA flake. ($22.50, $12.00, $7.00, and $8.00 respectively. :lol: ) Yup, there seems to be a connection. [/QUOTE]
