Home Again -- My 2nd Amateur Radio Station -- Graduation from High School!
Melvin and Mother had told me that they wanted me to return home and complete high school, so on March 31, 1940, I left the C.C.C. for the last time and went back home to attend the required second half of the 11th grade. I was then 20 years old, and felt like an old man among my much younger classmates. I still felt bitter about the treatment I had previously received from the Lowndes County school officials when I was not permitted to graduate after I had completed the 12th grade.
Within several weeks after I arrived at home I had finished building the new transmitter and the modified receiver, and was on the air again. This time I had the advantage of higher power, and was not “rock-bound” (crystal controlled), but could roam the bands with the variable frequency oscillator that I had built.
