EV>I learned about Ham Radio in the Autumn of 1956 and hadn't heard
EV>about SSB until a few years later.

I learned about Ham Radio in 1948 while taking a course in High School
on "Radio Electricity". Getting a ham licence was an option in the
course but while I could pass the Test I could not master CW. I tried
several times later i nlife but it just did not clinck with me. Later I
learend because of my TITWAL lack of having any rythum sensibilities I
might as wel give up which i did. While I did become a NO Code Tech in
1992 I wited that long as I was one of those that beleived the NO Code
Tech's woudl ruin Radio.
In hindsight I think I was right and am sadly disappointed in the
Community for cranking out mindless Hams in One day Ham Class
sessions. In a 0800 and after 7 hours of reading the questions and
answer over and over you are tested. Most pass the test but don't have
the Foggiest Idea about what ham radio is all about.
