It's overdue, but I wanted to note here at this site the passing of my grandpa (WA9UNH) who along with my dad (WB9IXI) encouraged me to get my Novice ticket back in '76 when I was 12 yrs old. It changed my life forever when I accomplished that one step. His legacy and life will never be forgotten. I love you grandpa...Jim, N9KPO
