Today it has been 47 years since I got my novice at age 14. I was at the Nebraska school for the blind on a Monday when I got a call from my mom. My license had come and I was now WN0ORO. I hung up and ran for the ham shack and worked 80 meters; working a guy about 200 miles away. My 6 months as a novice has been the highlight days of my years as a ham.
