What a great new game! I'll play:

I was born April 24, 1954. I got my Novice ticket October 14, 1967. I got my
Extra September 26, 1970. (Dates are when the actual license arrived - passed
the tests about six weeks earlier). I reckon that made me 16 years, 5 months,
2 days old when the Extra came in the mail. That 2 year experience requirement
held me up at least a year).

Anybody else?

Novice ticket, wn3yik some time or another in the 1953-54 timeframe.
16-17 years old. Novice WAS on 80. Most memorable Q: Wire blew down
overnite. I "inductively coupled" my sleeping brother to the ARC-5
output and worked a guy in Pittsburgh mid-morning.

General 10 months later. Give or take. First Q as a General was G5ZK.
On 80 of course.

Extra whenever it was in the late '60s when ya had to pass the stupid
test or get booted outta the dx hot slices. 30-31 years old?
