| Biography My ham radio journey began while spending the Christmas holiday of 1956 at my grandparents. One of my aunts was a school teacher and one of her co-workers was a neighbor of my grandparents. This neighbor’s husband was a WWII vet who used his GI Bill to become a Radio / TV repairman. The day after Christmas Mr. Vance C McCain / WA4IDE (SK) invited my cousin and I into his repair shop, fired up his SSB rig, called CQ a few times and “BEHOLD”; a voice came back sounding like Winston Churchill. As a product of post WWII, I had been acquainted to that foreign accent from times spent sitting on the floor in front of our big RCA cabinet radio listening to shortwave and domestic broadcasts with my parents and both sets of grandparents. It was fascinating for my young ears to witness someone in Madisonville, KY talking with someone in Great Britain. At that young age I was hooked.
