This seems like a good time to introduce one of my other life-long
hobbies. In 1955, I accomplished one of my first major life goals. I
passed all the tests for an Amateur Radio License. It was just the entry
level "Novice Class" license but it allowed me to "talk" via Morse Code
to people all over the world with simple equipment that I built myself.

Check the link at 1030 EST Dec 26 it appears to be broken. I am
interested in seeing it since I was licensed only a short time
afterwards. My ticket issued Jan 56, but test done in 55. I was then
K9CAH so I was also licensed in the MidWest in Wisconsin. I was
13.
