I got my call sign when I was 10 years old on a bet with Dewie, kb8ub that I could do it before Dayton and if I did he would get me a HT at Dayton Ham-fest. I got it a few weeks before Dayton he did get me a radio I still use it to this day, it’s a Yaseu FT-50R. Thanks Dewie!
My original call-sign was Kc8zqa but I decided to change it Kb8fun. Kb8fun was the call-sign of Martin Ball, Who was a good friend of my father, and I carry his first name as my middle name. Leo Martin Bayard
