[SCCC] "Hot" E-Bay item

[Art - W6KY]

Nostalgia:
Back in 1957, my best friend's dad was a chief in the Navy and got us a 
set of these. After a lot
of tears (14 yrs old), throwing things, I passed the Novice test at 
about 9WPM..  I used 40 and
15 meter CW to get to the required 13 WPM...  I used a portable wind up 
78 RPM Victrola
and sat out on the North 40 to learn the code... I know the eBay records 
aren't mine because
Paul (KN0TPY) and myself (KN0OQA) threw them in the river after we 
passed the test 50
years ago.      73, Art    W6KY
