77   Note: there is also a NavBar class set on <a>s in the horizontal and

79   .horizontal or .vertical.

238         as a seven year old child by placing two tube receivers together,                         given to me by my great grandmother,
239         and I listened for heterodynes, a method of combining                         a radio frequency wave with a locally generated
240         wave of a different frequency to produce                         a new frequency equal to the sum or the difference between
241         the two from spurious local                         emissions generated by each receiver. After combining radio frequency
242         waves with locally                         generated waves of a different frequency produced by the faint emissions of the
243         adjacent                         receiver, I could produce new frequencies equal to the sum or difference between the    
244                             combined frequencies. The adjacent differing tuning capacitors and the emissions from                
245                 them served as a window to an emission form known as single side band with the harmonics                         generated
246         from the chassis of each receiver. When I discovered heterodyning from the                         local oscillations of the
247         two receivers it opened the world of Morse code and amateur                         radio to me. I had created what would
248         be known as a crude beat frequency oscillator                         with the two receivers.                      </font></p><font

252                     for Scouts in 1965 located at the Naval Reserve Facility on Avery Road in Memphis.                         I was
253         awarded a merit badge by the Chickasaw Council of The Boy Scouts of America                         for being the fastest
254         code receiver in my class. They clocked me at over thirty words                         a minute before my fourteenth birthday.
255         It helped being a musician because timing                         is everything with Morse code. My amateur radio license,

299         equipment was quite primitive by today's standards and consisted of                         early analog equipment, circuits
300         and devices having an output proportional to its                         input as opposed to the digital technology we have
301         today which, simply put, is a circuit                         or device representing magnitudes in digits. The fundamental
302         difference between the                         analog and today's digital signal is that an analog signal is represented by
303         sine                         waves, a wave whose waveform resembles a sine curve, or the ratio of the opposite           
304                      side to the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, whereas, the digital signal is                         represented
305         by a square wave which we all know to be a plane rectangle with four equal                         sides and four right angles.
306         In digital technology, the analog wave is sampled at                         some interval, and then turned into numbers that
307         are stored in the digital device.                         On a CD, the sampling rate is 44,000 samples per second. On a CD,
308         there are 44,000                         numbers stored per second of music. This is what we hear today, and even better than

395         had relatives in South Africa that corresponded with him.                         I was fascinated by the flora and fauna,
396         the ships and landscape on the stamps on                         the envelopes. He removed the stamps from the envelopes and
397         gave them to me to study.                         It was a way for me to learn about the world as a child.
