Hi Howard,
I got my novice license in 1981 after obtaining American citizenship.
My first call sign was KA3EEL.
I've been licensed for 30 years now.
I upgraded to Extra in around 1985 and got the call sign KU3I.
I moved to Sacramento in 1990.
I then got the call sign AA6XG which I hated!
When the vanity call signs came out I was reissued KU3I again.
Guess I can now join the quarter century club!
I well remember BTP and the newer SKTF magazine.
I rememgber Bob Gunderson read the White's Radio Log for am stations in the
1970s before the magazine finally ceased publication.
It spanned a whole bunch of talking records.
Thanks to all for the good memories.
73,
Eric
KU3I
