Hams,
        Howdy. I'm utterly inactive but I do actually have (had? I'd better
check, may have expired) technician KB6UOH.
        My wife was listening to me struggling to work up to 5 WPM code,
using our Mac Plus (am I on-topic now?) as a random code generator. She
thought it sounded kind of neat, tried it out, and was doing 10 WPM in a
few days. (grrrr!). On the way down to the test I taught her Ohm's law and
a few frequencies and talked her into taking the test. She took clean code
(and the volunteers there were begging her to try out the general code
test) and squeaked by the multiple-choice stuff and got license KB6UOI
(awww, how sweet, consecutive numbers...).
        Now if we'd just get a radio and get on the air.....
                                                - Mark
