Ye gawds Hans, no 115vac until you were 8-9 years old??! That would
have been in the 1958-59 timeframe and REA had just gotten to your
neighborhood then?? WTF . . ?!! Or were you in Guatemala??

We got REA in the summer of 1954 when I was 14 years old. Running water
too. (I was 8 or 9 when I learned Morse.)

73, de Hans, K0HB



Hans used to walk eight miles to school in bare feet, but when he
found out Abe Lincoln had already used that line, Hans decided to
become a Navy Radioman radio hero instead.
