   Mike Luther W5WQN here.  And being typed today in the exact same house, now   
   Historic House 66, in College Station, Texas where I got my original Novice   
   license WN5WQN in 1952. Plus in the exact same room in which I made my first   
   QSO from a 6L6 crystal oscillator hand built rig, the inbound signal being   
   heard on a Hallicrafters H38 receiver.   
      
   Actually was the bedroom for myself and my little brother.  Shortly after   
   which my Dad and Mom threw the rig and station out of the house and into a   
   little extra room behind the garage.  For obvious noise reasons, grin!   
      
   Mike Luther N117C on 1:117/100 for this response..
