Years ago I wrote an introduction for a boat anchor list server.
And told story about my history. Many found it interesting but it was
lengthy. Some of us have old and interesting histories and others are new
to ham radio and just starting from a quit different point in radio
history. It seems that I have spent most of my time either trying to
collect the radios and gear I wanted when I was younger or spending time
teaching radio to young people. I don't think you can ever go back but
perhaps you can pass on the enthusiasm to a younger generation.
found your story interesting also and would perhaps others could
share theirs as well, I just hope we don't boar the newer hams with our
tales of the past.

Thanks for responding, you and all the others. I didn't realize that it
would spark such interest. As such, look for an expanded version in the
near future. I'll keep you posted.

Hee Hee. I've been a fan of David Bowie's music about as long as I have
liked the Power Mite - over 30 years. I joined his ISP so I could get
pre-sale concert tickets. December 10th in Philadelphia. Look for the
middle-aged nerd ham radio geek right up front, but without my "KE3QG"
hat. 8^) But I am phasing in my new email john@john-wiseman.com which
you can respond to off-list.
BTW Paul - I like your homepage. Before I actually bought the PM, I had
done an Internet search on all things Power Mite, and your site is one of
the few with pictures. Nice job. Speaking of websites, mine is now being
reconstructed post-AOL. Here's a small snippet showing a rather unusual
use for my 2-meter handheld...

If you collect old QST magazines, look in "Up Front in QST" for November 1999.
