[CQ-Contest] Year first licensed distribution from CW SS

[Joe]

I agree 100% it is a contest that you must copy what is sent. And also 
agree about first old timers. I got my License in September of 1975 my 
Novice.

No radio yet but the newly formed club invited all to participate in SS 
and a members house. I and my co novice test buddy was wb9sbc said sure 
never been on the radio yet but sounds fun,

he and I got the graveyard shift. like 2 AM to sunup.  I'll still to 
this day will never ever forget how much fun it was!!! I know better 
now,, How can that shift be fun?  But to two newly licenced novices to 
be able to run phone with yagis and all that,  what a blast!
