Cleaning out my garage, I found a few dozen old QSL cards from 1962, when I got my first license, WA2TLQ. I looked up the call signs and seven of them are still active hams. I decided to send the old cards back to those seven, hoping they get a kick out of seeing something from so long ago. One of them, W2PVY, was a mentor who took me under his wing and helped me build a Heathkit "Two-er" and a push-pull amplifier. He's 86 now, I think living in a nursing home. I hope there are some ham activities I can volunteer for that will help pay back the service he provided to me at the tender age of 17.
VIN, WELCOME BACK TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF HAM RADIO. HERE IS SOME SCOOP ON YOUR MENTOR W2PVY 73 - K1LKP
