Early in my life, I had a serious interest in Amateur Radio (Ham Radio).
About all the further that this got (at the time) was to build a Radio
Shack P-Box kit (red plastic box with 0.2-0.3 inch perfboard holes in the
red half and a clear half with the parts to the kit and the instructions
inside) Three Way Code Practice Oscillator (#28-105), and to buy the Radio
Shack code practice key and audio tape.
Well, without much to listen to, this was dull, so I bought the Radio Shack P-Box Three Transistor Short Wave Radio (#28-110). As a seperate learning experience, I really did enjoy putting these P-Box kits together. This worked quite well, until the first time a storm ripped up my cheap antena. As was the case with almost all of my early projects, I lacked the money and determination to make anything 'big' become of it. This state of affairs continued until I went to the Green Country Ham Fest and Computer Swap Meet on March 23, 1996 in Tulsa Ok. There, after ditching many pounds of personal computer stuff, I found myself the winner of the door prize, an Alinco DJ-180T VHF FM Tranceiver. Well, on May 12, 1996, I completed and passed the Novice and Technician license tests given by the local W5YI-VEC group here in Stillwater OK. On May 17'th, I found out, via Gordon's checking the Callsign Database Server, that my callsign is KC5UNL.
