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.
