“K6QIX” has a crisp, authoritative sound to it. Did Norm passed them out to friends expecting that they’d call him?

Norm, I don’t have a ham radio.

"But you can get one! They’re lots of fun and you can meet interesting people. Keep the matchbook around in case you do, and then call me up."

Norm, you live next door.

"It could be cold outside!"

I can call you on the phone then.

"Okay. What time should I expect a call? I might be downstairs with my ham radio set, and might not hear the phone ring."
