Default Never too old to learn

This is the oldest member of our local club.



He is 95 years old.

Became a Technician at the age of 78

Passed his Morse Code test at the age of 86

Became a General at the age of 87

If you go by his house right in the middle of town his yard is loaded with antennas. He really got hooked
