HL5KY also N2KY ex-HM5KY,AB6KT
I came to know about Ham Radio in my elementary school years. In a cartoon which came with a children's magazine, a young boy talked on the radio to far away places and made good friendships through the radio.

It was really impressive to me and I thought it would be great to start such an interesting hobby. But it wasn't so easy at that time in Korea for a little kid to get useful information about getting into Ham Radio. After having tried for about a year, just studying English which I thought to be the most important thing to talk to the world, I gave up cause I couldn't find any people or clubs involved with Ham Radio.

Some years later,I accidentally got the address of KARL (Korean Amateur Radio League) and joined the association. I first started as SWL with an old Hallicrafters S-40 receiver and a big converter. Listening to Ham's qso was a lot of fun and sometimes I tested with a small homebrew cw transmitter. Even though it was an illegal operation, I experienced and learned how the radio signals got to the other places.

After a good while, I was licensed as HM5KY in 1976, when I was a 1st grade High School student. I was the youngest ham ever officially licensed in Korea at that time. I also got a US call as AB6KT in 1992 and changed to N2KY in vanity call sign system in 1997. However, I have never had a chance to use the call sign cause I haven't been to the USA or related countries. Hopefully, someday in the future, the call will be helpful for my dream of DX pedition.
