[CQ-Contest] Early DX'ing and contesting

[Dave Thompson]

Bill Leonard W2SKE (SK) wrote an article for Sports Illustrated in 1958 about operating multi multi at K2GL.  I have a printed copy. I seem to recall it may be on the K8CX web site. If there is an article about giants walking the bands I would like to have it.
