Hello,
The Morse Radio project was very successful. We will be giving Diana the
radio and equipment sometime next week. Thanks to all those that donated
towards the cause. We are going to write a story about her becoming involved
in Ham radio and passing the test for her license.
Below is a message from Diana, KB3NNP, that she wanted me to forward to
everyone.
72 and Thanks,
Ron Polityka

=========================================
Fellow hams, Polar Bears, QRP'ers, et al (I know some of these
overlap...)
Thank you for the good wishes. It occurred to me this morning
that there may not be many relatives of Samuel FB Morse
transmitting, although mathematically speaking there should be
quite a few of us out there.
My daughter is going to take classes next fall...she is 5th
cousin, 6 generations removed to Samuel.
My parents, of the puritan bent, didn't tell my siblings and I of
our relationship because it was "vain." Sadly, I very nearly
missed knowing about my heritage.
I'm 5th cousin, 5 times (generations) removed from
Samuel FB Morse--he is 7th & I am 12th generation from
Anthony Morse, who came to Mass. in 1635.
In an unusual twist of events, as Ron can better explain, it was
brought to light. Thanks, Ron & all the Polar Bear QRP'ers who
kept after me till I got my ticket.
Everyone, I'm pretty slow yet...5 wpm is all I can copy...but I'm
working on 7.
My heartfelt and warmest thanks for welcoming an "L", whether
Y or XY into your ranks. I will try to make you, and cousin
Sam, proud.
My best regards & 72,
Diana Morse
