Radio, Computers, and the Temporal Prime Directive:

From : ricochet.com on 2023-03-18

On the night of September 2, 1956 -- the day before Labor Day -- my parents parked their Willys Aero in front of a TV store in Fayetteville, NC. It was a warm late-summer evening, and they were prepared to wait until the store opened at 8 a.m. the next day. They were there to buy a TV and a UHF converter. Whatever he said, my dad was intrigued. So after my parents got home (with their new TV and UHF converter) and got some sleep, he started learning what he could about ham radio. I imagine he would have gotten hold of some issues of the CQ Amateur Radio magazine, and he certainly would have acquired the latest edition of the American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Radio Amateur's License Manual, which was (and still is) the standard textbook for the FCC's license exam. He learned the required electronics theory and basic Morse code proficiency, and before long, he had his license.
