My dad was a Ham. He had been a Novice when he was a kid. In the late fifties he spent two years in Thailand and the Phillipines, as part of the old ASA intercepting Red Chinese Army radio traffic.

Back in the seventies and eighties he was very active, always working some contest. After I moved out, the first thing he did was turn my bedroom into his radio shack.

He's been gone a while now, his call signs were N0DGE, and later AA0ME.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
