Guys, stop ramming into one another and rather click on the link below. You will be transported back to 1965, and will hear master story-teller Jean Shepherd (K2ORS) describing his teenage case of "The Knack". He discusses his efforts to build a Heising modulated transmitter for 160 meters. He had trouble getting it working, and became obsessed with the problem, obsessed to the point that a girl he was dating concluded that there was "something wrong with him" and that his mother "should take him to a doctor."
This one is REALLY good. It takes him a few minutes to get to the radio stuff, but it is worth the wait.
(Please note this is a fairly long file 10.1MB.)

UPDATE: I found this the best amateur radio nostalge Mp3 that I have listend to. It really carried me back to yester-year. The passion and excitement can be heard in the voice of Jean Shepherd. (K2ORS) Must admit that I would love to hear some more amateur radio stories from him.
