Your story is very familiar, as this is also my second time through the ham radio licensing process. Still have my original communications receiver, a Hammarlund HQ120 purchased from Valley Communications in 1955, sitting in my shack as a reminder of days gone by. The world and amateur radio have changed a lot, but it is still amazing how anyone can make contact all around the world if they wish. Your article has given me a kick in the pants, to get busy and put up my HF antennas. Seventy-threes to you, hope to reach you on the air very soon.
