I've been dreaming about becoming a ham for over 50 years. One thing led to another, time goes by, you know the drill.
Then, everything was solid state, and the magic was just gone.
Now, there's eBay, and I can find anything I ever wanted. And now I find this thread, and I went to QRZ.com just for fun. I've never studied one word of the FCC regs, ever. So I took the Tech test, twice, and scored 86.7% both times!!
Maybe there's hope!
