I'm not, but my G'pa was. He had one incredible collection of QC cards from the '40's through the '70's. My Uncle still has his old '50's Hallicraft reciever; still works good.
My grandfathers only claim to fame was he was on the radio(lived in N. Calif), talking to a guy in Pearl City, early in the morning, back in '41... Him and the guy there were talking; my G'pa heard planes in the background and then bomb going off. The other guys said "My God, we're under attack, we're being bombed". They signed off for the rest of the war(radio silence).
My Grandmother walked into the Ham shack with a fresh pot of coffee, and remembers my Gpa giving here a deathly stare, and saying "My God Ma, we're at war; the Japanese are bombing Pearl Harbor". My Grandmother said the look on his face, she never forgot.
