Wow!
For some reason I missed this when you uploaded the video and just now watched it for the first time. Great memories…you’ve done an excellent job showing how Dad made an impact on all our lives. He would have enjoyed this video greatly. Thanks for taking the time to put it online.

Wow . . . great video! I stopped it many times to read and enjoy the photos. Awesome memories for sure . . . Kodak 110 and Polaroid photos and old Radio Shack catalogs. You and John had a great Dad that clearly impacted your lives.

I enjoyed that, Dads sure can nmold a guys future. Looks like you had a great one. I rember all of those radios , buty in my case it was hours of reading the Radio Shack and Lafyette / Allied Catlogs.
Thanks for sharing. BTW, JMHO, give more time to read the slides, I ended up doing alot of rewinding and pausing. And then it could just be OLD AGE!!!

@72542 Thanks for viewing. Yes, I have met many ham operators over the years that got their start by listening to shortwave. Best of 73.
