Dang! The memories come flooding back. Thanks Tree. My very first SS was
1972. I was a guest at K6UJX running a Drake TR-3 with no CW filters. The
thing I liked the most about it was watching the 3-500s in the Henry glow
that subtle ruby color with my sending. Definitely prec "B". I believe I
made 72 QSOs in something like 8 hours. Then it got slow and I decided to
throw in the towel. Didn't catch it on tape, thankfully.
