Congratulations!

Speaking of getting a ticket, It was 62 years ago today that my first ticket
was signed by the FCC.
Today is my ham radio birthday of 62 years with the same call.
Not bad for a guy who is only 39, LOL!
Yes, and I have enjoyed every one of these years!
Just thought this might be an encouragement to some discouraged ham some
place.
Best 73 to all!
