I got into Ham Radio back in Jr. High (1970's). I used to be WN7TTS. I remember the 5 wpm test was a breeze, but the 13 - that had me sweating! As you suggest, I let my ticket expire many years ago - about the time I discovered girls. :-) I think about taking it up again from time to time, so far there seem to be too many other priorities. But I do like the fact that I can now afford the stuff I lusted after way back then. First rig was a Hallicrafters HT40 paired with a Heath General Coverage receiver - man that was hard to tune precisely.
