I discovered amateur radio using the family shortwave radio when I was about 9 years old. By the age of 12, I had built my first crystal set followed by a number of one, two, and three valve radios, before moving on to a more ambitious eight valve superhet covering 2.0 - 4.0 MHz. I was introduced to the local radio club at 14 and passed the Radio Amateurs Exam in May 1961 at the age of 15.
