57. I can't imagine how I got here this fast.

Been a ham since 1961 or '62... First Radiotelephone since
high school. I'm finally able to afford the rigs that I could only
dream of owning when I was a kid. As a novice I started with
a DX-60 and a Lafayette KT-200! When the solid state rigs
came out I sold all my tube stuff. Now I'm trying to get them
back!
