Like someone above said, it took the mystery out of ham radio when they dumbed down the tests and stopping using CW. I used to love CW. Still have my bug in a glass case.
My biggest thrill was a 40meter phone contact with Easter Island. Never got the QSL
Went QRT when I moved out of a house and into an apt.

My Kenwood TS140S has quit again, but I can receive; I think it's about time for a new radio, especially before I go off shore boating. I think I'll go for an ICOM next; they have a great radio that's good for ham and better for marine use.

Add me to the list, KC8JJL. I got started with a Tech Plus. (passed the 5wpm by the skin of my teeth) Not to long ago I upgraded to General. I actually want to get better at the code I just don't have any knack for it. I wore out my cassete tapes learning the 5wpm. I keep thinking about getting a new CD and giving it another shot. I would love to try my hand at QRP. All my radio stuff is Homebrew. 80 and 40 meter recievers.(built a superhet from scratch last year)and I made a VLF converter.

KI4VAR, maritime mobile (not so mobile these days). My rig got a dose of salt water in it and does not work anymore. I mostly got licensed so I could stay in touch on my Pacific crossing a few years ago. Now that I am not doing passages I doubt I will get the rig up and running again.

Pedal steel, lap steel, resonator, blues harp - why suck at just one instrument when you can do so on many?

Always wanted to but never had the time... maybe take the Novice test one day... then let the executions begin. Am guilty of spilling some illegitimate RF in my day.

Thanks Ken.
What you see is the find of a lifetime. I got everything you see for $200.00 and me and the wife put it all up by ourselves. I've been in the hobby 37 years and had a lot of fun.Listen for me on 7220 most nights around 9:00CST and lets chat some evening.

N4BHB - Advanced Class, but seldom on the air anymore. Had to take down the beam, so only left with a dipole and 100 watts! This solar cycle will soon be over, and I still haven't made but very few contacts.
