OLDEST HAM at 106 IS GUEST ON HAM NATION

Most Definitely!

 

Hello Margie,

By chance is your husband related to Lester Spanbenberg, ex:W2MB, a silent key from Lodi and Clifton? He was the initial holder of my call in the early 1900's.

Mark, W2MB

Good for him! I once talked to an older ham (long gone now) that had actually done CW using a spark coil when he lived in Trinidad Colorado. THAT paints some picture!

 

Cliff is a great fellow...have enjoyed meeting him
