ML> EV> I learned about Ham Radio in the Autumn of 1956 and hadn't heard   
   ML> EV> about SSB until a few years later.   
      
   ML>I started down the radio trail at around 10 years of age in the 4th grade he   
   ML>in College Station, Texas.  I could read at 3 years of age and in the second   
   ML>grade I convinced my Dad to buy me a crystal set with the little arm and wir   
   ML>on it plus get me a little headphone set.  I wound my first coil on a Quaker   
   ML>Oatmeal box and stunned my Dad when I let him hear WTAW-AM here at Teas A&M   
   ML>1150Khz on it!  WTAW for (Watch The Aggies Win) in 1929 - one of only six "W   
   ML>call signs West of the Mississippi River.   
      
   I built my first crystal set up in Great Falls Montana in 1947. At night   
   I used to pick up XERO the Full Power Mexican Station down near   
   Clint Texas.
