Dad and Roger in the exhibition hall. Seriously like two kids in a candy store. The hall was a sea of older gentlemen in sweatpants and hats with call letters. I wanted to buy dad a t-shirt that said, "SOME HAMS KNOW DIT FROM DAH".
One of the local ham radio clubs particpated in a contest and invited others to come in. I'm not licensed but went with someone who was and they allowed him to man the equipment. He had a blast, making contacts in Washington, Oregon and British Columbia as well as watching other contacts being made in Africa and various other states.
My Dad was a HAM radio operator - sort of the archetypal geek. His initials were even H.A.M. He loved electronics and talking to people from all over the world - he would have absolutely LOVED the Internet.
I am amazed at the amount of equipment (both sides of the room) it took to transmit and receive signals when this was taken in the early 50s. When I was a kid, we always had a giant radio tower in our backyard. Sometimes I can still hear him, "Calling CQ, calling CQ..."
He died when I was just 12, but he has influenced almost every aspect of my life and I think of him every day. It is amazing how much like him I am, especially as an adult...

This Ham radio operator did a nice job with the garage door art, tieing it into the hole radio spark, arc theme. (Unknown call sign) Seen in Santa Clara CA.
