NINETEEN-HUNDRED-AND-FIFTY-FOUR. It is probably an insignificant year in the 20th century for most people. For me, however, it is the year of my birth and quite naturally has special importance. The social, political, sporting and entertainment milestones in that year not only had specific ramifications at the time, each later affected my life in one way or another. Shortwave radio listening and collecting QSL card were a hobby for many more than today. And, surprisingly they happened more or less in the nine months before I slid down the Milky Way and into the blue. Happy birthday to those celebrating their 70th year and still enjoying the radio.
