Re: [TenTec] Power Mite Odyssey

[Bill Fuqua <wlfuqu00@uky.edu>]

        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.
