That's yet another good reason to operate CW.

QSL cards

Today I received a really nice QSL card. It was from PJ2T Curacao Netherlands Antilles. Considering I have only had HF privleges since Februrary and the wire dipole hanging on the side of my garage I'd say I'm doing ok.

I am fairly new but I have been interested in Ham radio for years. I had a science teacher in the sixth grade who was a ham. His name was Simon Crison. This was in about 1962. I would love to see his listing in an old call book from that period.

I worked as an Engineer for 14 years at an Areospace/defense contractor based in a suburb of Detroit. Not all industry around Detoit is automotive. I then worked for another defense contractor in the same area for another 3 years.
