[TenTec] new to CW dxing

[Jim Lowman]

Kim, I guess now I belong in that same fraternity.

I was excited when I had been a ham for 25 years and could join the QCWA.
However, I was all of 42 years old.  I looked at their periodic publication,
which looked like a fire drill at an old-folks' home to me at that age.  Not
much about hamming and a lot about get-togethers, so I didn't renew my
membership.

Maybe at age 64 I need to renew my thinking - and membership.

73 de Jim

When I took my Extra test, I brought my Vibroplex and the wedge contacts, so I could use just key across their straight key. The examiner barely raised an eyebrow and allowed me to send maybe one word before he pronounced me adequate.
