[SCCC] Great Ham Radio - Novice History website - with Autobiographies ( 1951 -2000 )

[Dennis Vernacchia]

*This evening at the San Diego DX Club meeting, **Cliff Cheng, PhD, WW6CC
and now recently assigned AC6C, informed the membership
of his web sight that strives to preserve in history, stories/auto
biographies
of hams who held novice licenses from 1951 to 2000.

(For those of you on my mailing list who are not Amateur Radio Operators (
HAMS )
or don't have the privilege of knowing or living with a HAM, you may still
find some of
the stories interesting of how all of us HAMS got started in this
fascinating hobby.)

I am sure there are hams you all may recognize who have contributed to the
site
and Cliff is looking for more stories of your Novice experience.

I know that in 1963 when I took my Novice exam at my local high school,
it seemed a real challenge to learn the Morse Code and theory, even though
the
test was multiple guess by then, I really had learned to draw every
schematic and try to understand
how circuits worked !

Enjoy and add your Novice license story here if you ever held that grade
license.

Please feel free to forward this mail to all the hams or people who know
hams
who may have been licensed between 1951 and 2000.
