 Greetings from INDIA

My journey to amateur radio started when i was in class 7th (1984), I was introduced to Elektor an electronic magazine by a  school friend (who i again met him after 25 years and made him a ham, long story HI!) there was an article in the magazine on Ham Radio and eventually the fascination started.

Long story cut short, finished my high school got enrolled with  JNA Wireless Association a local Amateur Radio Club and my alma mater for Ham Radio but could not continue and rejoin after my graduation, got Grade II in May 1993 and Grade I in 1994, Licensed in Jan 1996 (Yes whooping 2.5 years of waiting).
