SNIPPED


I built my first light bulb at the age of 8 -- I used a test tube
from a chemistry set of mine and about 10" of bare copper wire that
I found in my dad's ham shack (the original W3DHJ). Hell, it sure
looked a lot like a light bulb! Then I poked it into the wall outlet
in my bedroom. BIG TIME mistake! I was an Army Brat and we were living
in conscripted housing in Bremerhaven, Germany at the time....
Thus began my lifetime love of of all things electronical.

(-: I suppose this OT thread should be in rec.radio.amateur.homebrew. :-)
