Well, maybe. And maybe not. Time will tell.

If he does what he said he'd do back then,
he wouldn't be a liar or a no-show, right? :-)

Why the sigh? Do you really *want* Len to get
a license?

Even if Len does someday get a license, he
will still be a newcomer to amateur radio. A
neophyte, a tyro, newbie, novice, etc. Then it
will be up to us to Elmer him, both by advice and
example.

For example, simply getting the license is the
first step. What rig should he buy for CASH?
What antenna? Power supply? Accessories?
Should he attempt to build any of it? What
about mobile operation? CC&Rs? RFI?
Operating procedures? Awards? Contests?
Vanity call?

Think about it.
