Well done there!

Well Duh on me. My son and I did a father/son project some 25 years ago
and all this time I thought I was a real radio ham. Is there another
type of Ham other than a real radio Ham? That is the only type of Ham
you ever mention is a "real radio Ham". I must be what ever is left on
your list of "Hams", I surly can't design and build anything close to
the equipment I operate, my son can't either, but then he is only a
computer engineer, not a real Ham engineer. Actually, I can't design
any real ham equipment. I did copy and build a keyer out of QST that a
real radio Ham designed and built, and a Ten Tec 40 meter QRP
transceiver, but alas, it was a kit. A real radio Ham person designed
that beautifull thing and all I did was put it together following some
very easy step-by-step instructions provided. But I tell you I felt
like it's proud father when it worked when I tried it out! When I get
to heaven perhaps Jesus will be my Elmer and help me become a real radio
Ham. I sure love this hobby. I just hate that I'm sooo,....DUH!
