Do you have one for sale?

I will also add that my dad, who will be 67 in three days, always wanted his license and never took it because he couldn't get the Morse Code down. He used to use CBs in the 70s, hopping them up with power, etc. He also used to repair TVs in the 70s, so he is very familiar with electronis. (He also worked for IBM, ITT, Fairchild and Teredyne.) His friend was a serious Ham and he always wanted to do it. I told him I was taking the exam and that he didn't need to know Morse. He started studying and in two weeks was ready to take the test with me. My mother, who is 66, used to do drafting for an engineering firm when she was young. She saw us studying and said she wanted to take it.

Dad and I got our General and Mom only tested for Tech, but she passed, only missing two questions. Her goal is to have extra within a year. Dad is studying extra now. I don't have time now, but I will later. Anyway, we all tested together and got our tickets together, so that was pretty cool.

Now THAT'S a cool story!

So, how old are you? Need to know that so the bartender knows what to serve you. Just put it on Pope Carlo's (KJ6BSO) tab...

I'm 42, so this is the year I learn about life, the universe and everything. We figured the family that hams together jams together.

Yeah, "jams" is no doubt the best option.

Seriously, though, it's a cool thing for your whole family to do this together. I hope all three of you end up enjoying ham radio as much as I have—it's a really great hobby.

Haaa! Nice. I'm the only radio nerd in my family. They all run away screaming when I turn on a radio.
