My icon is part of a self portrait I did, which can be seen in full
Here I am w/ my son, 8 years old.

SWMBO and our new (at the time) baby

The same baby, letting us know that the babyfood is taking too long. (9 months)

And my older daughter, looking very dapper all dressed up for a speech tournament. (Sweet 16 this month! Eep!)

W1CAL. I used to be very active on 6m when I lived in Hudson, NH. We bought the house where we currently live 14 years ago. There are high tension lines on the other side of my neighbor that make operating anything below 2m next to impossible. Sold all the gear and now only have a 2m rig in the car. Eventually I would like to get a mobile "shack in a box" perhaps a Yaesu FT857D. I could drive away from these damn power lines and operate hf & 6m again.
I almost forgot, I am also setup to operate 2m mobile from my tadpole recumbent trike, lots of fun.

Nice picture and it's good to see the key setting there. My uncle was a telegrapher for the railroad back in the 30's and 40's and taught me a little Morse when I was a kid. I was always fascinated with anyone who could master that.
To bad about the power lnes.
Wish I could say I mastered the code, but alas, I could do a bit over 5 wpm. It's been so long since I sold my gear, I would be hard pressed to do any code at this point. But I will say I had a blast with ham radio while I could.
I've got to say Johnny, there's no denying that 1949 picture on your part! I'll have to see if I can find a picture of me as a kid and post it just for fun.
