I completely agree. I started in ham radio in 1955. I finished my
BSEE in 1964. I have been studying SOMETHING nearly every day since
-- everything from more electronics to acoustics to photography to
business to economics to RFI and EMC, computers, software,
geography, world politics, and so on. In the process I have learned
many new things, and gained considerable pleasure from all the work
and experience. I'm still at it, still doing research, typically
writing several technical papers and/or tutorials each year, sharing
what I've learned at ham clubs, and so on. I'm also working on
improving both my station and my operating skills.
When I stop, it will time for someone to throw dirt on me.
73,
Jim Brown K9YC
