AC8W & K8DD on the road - the DX road

How it all started for me a long time ago, in a place far away!
    Amateur Radio, or Ham Radio as it is commonly known, started out for me about 1955 or 1956 east of
Harrisburg, PA - between Harrisburg and Hershey, PA) with an old floor model Zenith radio i the living
room, listening to short wave broadcast stations all over the world.
    In 1956, in the ninth grade, I met Jim Gillespie and several months later, in February 1957, we both
received our Novice Class licenses - KN3DCB for me and KN3DCC for Jim.  Later that year, Thanksgiving
Friday, we both passed the General Class in Philadelphia at the Federal Building. 
    In 1963 I moved to Detroit to attend Electronics Institute of Technology and applied for and received
what was then called a Secondary Station call -- W8GLC.  In 1973 came the Advanced Class license and
in 1974 the Amateur Extra license.  In 1977 I became eligible for a two letter call and traded them all in
for K8DD.  Later, when vanity calls became available, I got K3DCB - the original call - as a club call.
    In the early 1970's I started getting seriously getting into contesting and in 1976 I got my first triband
beam and a 50' tower and "found" DX'ing!  That led to having 302 DXCC countries worked and 292
confirmed on CW.  The mixed mode totals are 315 worked and 297 confirmed.  At this time, because of
Logbook of The World, there are 104 confirmed for a Phone DXCC!  And there are stickers on the DXCC
certificates for 280 Mixed and 250 CW.
