In Reply to: I'll bet there at least 30 licensed hams that post on vintage and tube diy. posted by Michael Samra on August 17, 2016 at 04:03:20:
I was licensed at 14. Two years later, I could copy Morse by ear at 60 WPM. All told, I was a ham nearly 50 years - Novice, General and Extra Class.
The last time I was on the air (about ten years ago), I simply didn't enjoy it. One of my favorite segments had been moved (80M novice band). There was clandestine phone operation all over the CW portions of several bands. I had difficulty finding someone capable of typical Extra Class CW speeds, and fewer still able to operate QSK. I switched to phone and worked some DX, but the thrill was gone.
When renewal of the license came around a few years ago, I let it lapse. It was just a hanger-on from a bygone era. R.I.P.
