Wow, you're really old Bob ! ;-)

HI HI - just kidding. I am only ~ 5 yrs behind you and I do respect my 
elders.

With all seriousness now, congrats on a huge milestone ! (is there a HC 
Wireless Club?)

Thanks for the dozens, if not hundreds of Q's over the decades.

73 es CU (all of a sudden!) in the next one.

On August 10, 1973, I received my Novice license and called my first CQ. 
(You were supposed to log your CQ's back then and I dutifully logged my 
first CQ on 80 M. LOL!)
50 years, all 340 countries and some 1,000,000+ qso's later, I can 
truthfully say that this is the most amazing hobby with some of the most 
amazing people that I have ever met. Radio and Contesting have become so 
inextricably intertwined with my life, that it is impossible to imagine 
how different and poorer it would have been without them, and without 
the countless friendships that I have made and experiences that I have 
had.
Thank you all for being a part of it!
