Comments:
Spent 7 totally enjoyable low key hours searching and pouncing on Top Band.
Thought of operating from my barn with a Johnson Ranger and Collins 75A-4. but
at 15 degrees Farenheit, better judgement came into play and I operated high
power from the house. In the interest of doing "something Stew",
I used a 1941 McElroy Stream Speed bug, the crown jewel of Ted McElroy's key
manufacturing days. It was made in Boston, and I have a feeling that Stew and
Ted were old friends. Not one station hesitated to respond to my
non-computerized CW, a testimony to the skillful ops that populate the
Gentleman's Band.
In my travels across the band I managed 30 QSOs of 10 plus points, and quite a
few on the West Coast. Good fun. Thanks to all of you for a relaxing round
of CW with some fine operators.
Elecraft K-3, Ameritron AL-1200. Still using the TEMMPORARY inverted vee that
I put up in 1988 when I moved to this location!
Happy New Year from Amish Ohio.
