I have several people to thank for introducing me to Ham Radio: WD4CKA, Irv, administered my novice test in 1979 and endured my first QSO. Thanks ole man! K4XU, Dick, encouraged and taught me both electronics and CW. N4AVF, Joe, dared me to get an Extra class within a year, and smiled broadly when I did within 9 months. Then my buddy Woody, KF4H and so many others helped in so many ways, from installing a 4 element quad, to sharing ideas and building keyers. WA4BSM, Larry, and NE4B,John were always ready, willing and able to lend a helping hand. WA4PMV, Janice always allowed me to use the call book to find the address of my latest DX QSO. Then MARRIED me and made me the happiest ham on earth.
Thanks to all of you for all you have done!! 73's Harold
