Example JT-65 QSO

I've really come to enjoy JT65 and the slooooow QSOs is allows. I'm able to work some great DX with a very modest station while working on other things on my computer. NICE! I recorded a quick video of a recent QSO with an Italian station.

Uncovering a Ham Radio past

I was first licensed as KB5QYH while still in college. I had always wanted to be ham radio operator,  evening checking out a book ("So you want to be a Ham") from the local library while in high school. But I never knew how to find a club or even an individual who was already licensed. Google didn't exist, of course, and there was no Instructables to guide me through it.

I did know that my father had been a ham, and his father as well. My mother has a garage littered with relics of the 1950s and 1960s when he had been both an amateur and a professional in the radio industry. But he had died when I was five and all I could do was fiddle with the old equipment and wonder how it worked.
