My Dad was a radioman in the US Navy and was always talking about the transmitters he had to tune up while aboard ship. He got into CBs in the mid 1970s and eventually I took the next step and earned my Novice ticket in 1978. I worked an entire summer at a local grocery store so that I could buy an HF rig. When I had enough money, I quit the job and purchased a new Kenwood TS520S and spent a lot of my free time chasing DX on the CW bands. I upgraded to General soon afterward.
