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


There were a lot of rural areas like that. I lived on a farm in Iowa from
the age of 6 months to 10 years old and there was no electricity or running
water there. It was kerosene lamps and carry water from the pump. There
were electrical lines in the area, just not to our farm. And from the
numbers above, I see that I am about 10 years younger than Hans.

Hey Hans, looks like there's a bunch of city slickers in here!
