Got you on the list, Butch.
P.S. For those of you who haven't yet caught the second podcast on

Put me down as well, I got my general back in 68 and have been active
since then. I called cq once on phone down in the cw band and wondered
why no one would answer me, called for about ten minutes. I figured I'd
hear from fcc, but never did.
Back when we counted the turns of the knob from a hundred kc calibrator.
