[WVARC] Hello world

[gregf at efn.org]

No kidding Ken. A few of us even ended up in the communications field. 
When friends or acquaintances ask how I 'got into radio' I point them to 
that very youtube of 'Hams Wide World'. Actually, when they ask how I 
got into studying bats (3rd career) I direct them to that video , or 
"This is Ham Radio" also by Dave Bell: 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuIExTh4CF8 BTW, I believe my first xmtr 
(Johnson Viking II) was as chirpy as the CW at 11:55 in this video!

I recently ran across and scanned this contact sheet from 1969 or 70 , 
it includes a few field day pics (attached). I can ID most - but not all 
- of the characters pictured.

And thank you Tree for reviving the list.

73,
Greg  AC7RX (WA6OSG)
