I hold an unrestricted South African class "A" amateur radio operator's license with the call-sign ZS1AGH. 
The interest in wireless originated at a very tender age in my bedroom, which also served as my late father's radio shack.  He got his license (A1C or D) before ZS was used then ZS in 1927 (first ZS1AV operating from Cape Town, Piketberg and Nababeep, later ZS4AY operating from Kimberley and Upington and still later ZS3V operating from Oranjemund, South West Africa).
I never developed an ambition to become a train driver like the rest of the youngsters of my age.  As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a wireless mechanic.  That is what I did.  I know nothing about radios.
