Many thanks for your kind words regarding my being licensed for 75 years.
Although I just received my 75 year certificate, it's actually 77years. But no matter how long, ... It's been a wonderful experience, and Ham radio has given me back much more than I have put in !!
Thanks for all of your work in making QCWA an important part of our hobby !
Milt, Kohl W8MK
