Nice story Jim. 35wpm...WOW! I could never get over the 10wpm barrier as a Novice (kn1wnw) in '62 or '63 with a home brew 6L6 40m transmitter and a Hllicrafters SX70 (I think) rcvr. on a long wire. In '72 took my Tech test (Gen written and 5wpm) and got wa1pni which I kept till about 1992 and changed to n1cjg (new town, new call) till 2006 when I got grandfathered to General and I took n1ork. Now I'm studying for Extra and hope to take the test soon. But I plan to keep this call for a long time.
