I’ve been licensed since 1993, having gotten my ticket because my grandfather (W7EOE, SK) bribed me into it with his Swan 700. I used to rag-chew for hours on the HF bands, and often was NET Control for the Handi-Hams and the MINOWs. 4 months ago, I had to sell my house and most belongings, including radios and accompanying gear, and move myself and my partner into a residential care facility. Antennas not allowed – boohoo!
