Introducing My Ham Radio Elmer Happy Birthday Ted At 101 Years Old

A World War II veteran who celebrated his 101st birthday has many stories to share and was the man who got me interested in ham radio in 1976 when I was 12 years old. Happy Birthday Ted!

That is how I started in the 90s on a Radio Shack TRC-225 handheld. Lucky to have the Elmers I've had.

Happy Birthday, Ted
On a sad note I saw Ted at Galen's (WA0TQT) funeral a few years back

That is great Denton, Ted has a lot of great stories about Galen and him and ham radio so hopefully I will be able to do some more interviews with Ted coming up! Thanks for your post and always great to hear from you.
