Μια που θεωρώ πως ειμαστε μια παρέα ειπα να μοιραστώ μαζί σας κάποια ανάμικτα συναισθήματα. Αφορά στην διαδρομή ενός φίλου και γείτονα που μου έσπειρε τα πρωτα ζιζάνια των κατασκευών στις πρωτες τάξεις του γυμνασίου ακόμα. Εγώ 1η γυμνασίου και τα αγγλικά μου ελάχιστα, αυτός 2α λυκείου με πολλή καλή γνωση αγγλικών. Όλες οι συλλεκτικές δερματόδετες εκδόσεις του Amateurs Handbook φάτσα κάρτα και χιλιοδιαβασμένες. Τι κεραίες, τι RFάδικα μηχανάκια, όλα ήταν στην ημερήσια διάταξη. Ο ίδιος απο τότε νόμιμος ραδιοερασιτέχνης με κάρτες επικοινωνίας απο όλο τον κόσμο. Το YAESU άναβε στην κυριολεξία. Μέτριος μαθητής εδώ, του 16 - 16.5. Τελειώνει το σχολείο εδώ με μόνη επιτυχία κάποια σχολή TEI με ελάχιστο ενδιαφέρον απο πλευράς του. Γιώργο, μου λέει λίγο μετά, δεν βλέπω να έχω μέλλον εδώ....θα την κάνω Αμερική. Για να μην σας κουράζω η διαδρομή ήταν :
