[UK-CONTEST] Joining the RSGB at 14?

[Mike Harris]

G'day,

Funny what triggers the memory.  I was A3875 in the early 60s.  Not sure 
what we had for lunch yesterday though!

Regards,

Mike VP8NO (G3VUI)

| No, I joined the RSGB as an SWL at the age of  12 or 13 as an Associate
| member (A 3147?)
| way back in 1955/6. Perhaps you meant that you couldn't get a licence 
until
| the age of 14 (which I did).
| I still don't seem to have clocked up 50 years as an RSGB member though.

| 73....
