[CQ-Contest] 1973 SS CW

[Art RX9TX]

 Hello cq-contest,

David, thanks for your story! :)
 
DH> I remember that contest. In fact, my wife Jacki will never 
DH> let me forget it. She went into labor with our second son on 
DH> the night before the contest, (appropriately, Halloween). I 
DH> drove her to the hospital, dropped our two year old son off 
DH> with a friend, and drove back to the hospital, just in time 
DH> to be in the general vicinity for the birth.

DH> Then, I went home and operated SS, using off times to go 
DH> visit Jacki and the newborn in the hospital. The 
DH> two-year-old remained at the friend's house for the weekend. 
DH> On Monday (conveniently), Jacki and the newborn were 
DH> released from the hospital, I picked up the two-year-old, 
DH> and we were all reunited. Jacki didn't fully understand what 
DH> was going on at the time, but she put 2+2 together later, 
DH> and there has been a lot of payback over the years for my 
DH> behavior in the 1973 SS CW.

DH> Dave Hachadorian, K6LL
DH> Yuma, AZ
