Greetings!
My interest in amateur radio started at the age of 14 (1968). A wonderful neighbor, just one block away had this very large square antenna mounted on the roof. It had fishing pole looking arms four in the front and another four in the back. Attached to each pole was three sets of wires, which formed three different sized square box shapes front and back. The really neat thing was that the whole massive antenna could turn from one direction to almost all the way back around again. I had to know what TV stations it could pickup! It took more than a week to work up the nerve to ring the doorbell. When I did, I was greeted by Ralph K9BED. I asked about the antenna, and Ralph laughed. Then he asked me to come inside and showed me his Ham Radio Station. This was the start of a wonderful hobby and many Great friendships!
