Alright !! Nice to meet you guys. I'm sure there are more of us and hope they will stop by to say howdy and fill us in.
I received my ham ticket in 1969 and operated as a Novice (WN4QBW) for almost a year before passing my General (then and now WB4QBW). The CW was never a problem, it was always the theory that was a bummer for me. Just dense I guess. Because of my love for radios I got a job dispatching for the Sheriff's Office in January of 1971. I retired as an Investigator for the State Attorney's Office (Florida's 14th Circuit) in July 2005 due to an injury, at the age of 58. Overall it was a nice trip and looking back, the ride didn't seem that long.
The wife retired last year and we are enjoying the lifestyle. RV'ing every chance we get.
Thanks for posting, hope to hear more from all of you.
73,
Jim AKA/One Country Boy
PS - Anyone watching the Casey Anthony Case down in Orlando ? That's another thread.
