I got interested in Electronics through a friend of mine at the age of 11 and by the age of 17 in 1966 I acquired my swl license. I was proud using a BC-348 militäry receiver in the 70s which I had got from DL2DI. At an age of 18 yrs I received my C Class license for VHF/UHF and higher frequencies and then later I acquired my CW Extra A Class licence.
