old at the time.

What a great new game! I'll play:

I was born April 24, 1954. I got my Novice ticket October 14, 1967. I got my
Extra September 26, 1970. (Dates are when the actual license arrived - passed
the tests about six weeks earlier). I reckon that made me 16 years, 5 months,
2 days old when the Extra came in the mail. That 2 year experience requirement
held me up at least a year).

Anybody else?

Born June 9, 1954

Technician license October 21, 1999 - tested Williamsport PA

General license June 25, 2001 - E-2 Butler, E-1 State College PA

Extra License February 26, 2002- Tested Lock Haven PA


So I was 45 when I got my Tech, 47 for my General, and 47 for my Extra.

Just a baby!

Born Aug 1 53. Got my old style Tech (took tests at the old FCC field
office
in NYC) October 76. Upgraded to Extra on Restructuring Day (April 15, 2000)
and got the paperwork the next week. So that works out as 0, 23, and 46
years. Aug 1, 1953 was my zeroth birthday.

.. . . Move over ya newbies, ALLYA, the OF has logged in . .

Novice ticket, wn3yik some time or another in the 1953-54 timeframe.
16-17 years old. Novice WAS on 80. Most memorable Q: Wire blew down
overnite. I "inductively coupled" my sleeping brother to the ARC-5
output and worked a guy in Pittsburgh mid-morning.

General 10 months later. Give or take. First Q as a General was G5ZK.
On 80 of course.

Extra whenever it was in the late '60s when ya had to pass the stupid
test or get booted outta the dx hot slices. 30-31 years old?

CHOMP!

We have another OF RRAPer recently MIA, Dick Carroll wØex. I called
him with the Bell thing a couple weeks ago to find out what's up, got
his answering machine, left my number but have not heard from him. I
think Dick predates me in ham radio.

For a great bio of a *real* OF go to QRZ.com and punch in W3EAN. I got
my first taste of ham radio during a '40s civil defense drill when I
was assigned to him as his Cub Scout message runner while he was
mobiling.

That's a tall order for a Cub Scout. I hope the speed limits were a
lot lower in the 40's.
