I guess I'm in the same boat, Sam. I'd left hamdom in '61 in pursuit of whatever it is that hormones make boys do, and although I picked up CW again while working ship to shore for a while during night school, I never went back to the romance of the airwaves that I'd known earlier on. To this day those earlier chaotic experiences on the air as a Ham have served as a form of educational precursor for me in my way I look at all things Internet.

I think it was about 1985 while on a consulting gig that I glanced at the magazine rack at a news stand and came across an issue of CQ Magazine, another once-popular Ham magazine. Prominently displayed on its cover was a photo of a Ham operator using a hand-held remote controller for a model aircraft, and beneath the photo there was an attention grabber reading something like, Hams Reach Agreement on new version of AX.25. AX.25 is the amateur adaptation of the ITU (originally-CCITT) X.25 packet protocol, once one of the dominant protocols for meshed data networks prior to IP.
