John, glad to see you made Extra. Always room for one more. I think ham radio is a lot more diversified than it was 40-50 years ago. We didn't have the miniaturized equipment and of course SSB was just an idea and digital modes were non existent. I was going to get my license 50 years ago but got married and was distracted. Father-in-law (SK) got his ticket in 1947 and that got me interested and learned code and studied the handbook. Didn't have license manuals back then. Got ready to get the Novice license and backed out. I got back on it when my oldest son went to work for ICOM as a regional sales manager and haven't looked back.
