Good morning Hobart,
Glad you found us. As Andy related, a great bunch of guys here. I got my novice in '69 or '70 (WN4QBW) and worked code for almost a year before upgrading to General (WB4QBW). Like you I could copy faster than I could write or type (abt 35 wpm, never took typing) so I kept most of what I received in my head and just made notes. I graduated from high school in '65 and retired in 2005 after about 35 years in law enforcement. I recently changed my call to W4EWA to indicate the small town I live near and was raised in. You can see our rig in the sig photo. We camp as often as we can and are about to take a 3 month trip to the Great Smokey Mountains to escape the high temps and humidity here in Florida.
Glad to have you with us and looking forward to exchanging posts with you. Welcome aboard !!!
Jim
