I got my novice in February of 1957 and General class in August of same year. I used to operate CW all night and fall asleep in school during the day. 
I still keep in contact with a girl who sat behind me in one class and used to take notes for me and poke me to keep me awake. 
After 57 years and aprox 2 months, I made my first contact on 10 meter FM. It was on 29.6 with K5ATT in San Antonio. I am near Sacramento CA in Placerville. 
A friend gave me a Kenwood 940 so it is the first time I had access to FM.
