Text Box: Ham Radio is the best hobby I       have ever come across. It has    brought me to places far and    wonderful. I have made countless friends    and also talked with people    from places some of whose    names I can not pronounce   properly. Morse Code is my favorite mode.    My logbook has more qsos in it    than any other. In fact, I got my    ticket on a Thursday and was    knee deep in a CW contest by    weekend. Contesting is one activity that    brings me out of the woodwork    even after long spells of inacti-    vity. I have been a party to    several  multi-operator efforts    and have enjoyed them    tremendously. DXpeditions have been my cup of tea of late. My friends and I have activated islands that I would not have thought of going to as an ordinary person. The trip to Kalayaan/Spratly was the biggest thrill in my HAM radio life. 4F2KWT Gil
