Three Generations of Hams
Ham Radio in the Barnes family started with my dad, Ken Barnes, Sr. in February, 1959. He was followed shortly by my grandfather, Frank, later in 1959 and Dad's older brother, LeRoy in late 1959 or early 1960. Dad's younger brother, Howard, was licensed sometime in the 70's and their baby brother Oral Lee was licensed in 1989. Oral Lee's wife, Cheri, was just licensed in 1997.
