  Certainly big changes since the 1960s.   I help build a Heathkit
Rec/Tx   SB301/SB401   I really worked on the tube SB301 receiver
while my friend thru public and high school worked on the treansmitter
the SB401.     It wasn't until last month that I was his "1st" ever
contact on 40meters.  I didn't know at the time, but I did when he
sent a QSL card and a letter letting me know.    WOW that was 40years
ago....a basic licence then was harder then now.

Anyhow...enough info for this return....hope you have a great
New Year 2006....See you on the air sometime
