My first non-novice SS was about a year later (1974). Rig was SB-401
and SB-303. Still have them. They need work.
I would have been on as either WA4FIB/5 or WB5KQJ from Louisiana.
I remember making good use of being able to hear three or four
stations at the same time. Somehow I was
able to copy them and simply lined them up for very quick QSOs. This
worked both on CW and SSB. With
tighter filters we can't hear as many stations - I wonder if maybe we
have lost something there.
