TELL YOUR STORY-EVERYONE HAS A STORY!!

[RAY FRIESS]

It is true that the younger kids havent experienced these wonderful things.  They don't know what it's like to get belted with a dose of HV and their eyes glowing from it, havent felt the warmth of a ham shack warmed by filaments at 2 a.m., havent balanced precariously on a tower or a roof top stringing up a length of copper wire or an antenna made out of soldered together sections of zip cord.

The sad thing is, many of them arent interested.  Some are, but they are in the minority.  It's the same kind of reaction that they give when dad or grampa start out with "WHEN I was a kid, I used to walk a mile to and from school, uphill both ways".    The eyes glaze over and you can tell they are thinking about Brittney Spears and who the daddy is of her latest kid.  HI HI

  I know there are many other stories out there... do you "old guys" 
  realize how the younger, in some cases not too much younger, HAMS have 
  not experienced these things?  

  TELL YOUR STORY... EVERYONE HAS A STORY!!!

  The hams who have not experienced the "tube days" and some of the things 
  we have experienced really enjoy reading about these stories.  SO TELL 
  YOUR STORY.
