[CQ-Contest] A bit of nostalgia

[w1rm at comcast.net]

No DX on 80.  I ventured to 40 once or twice, but that's all.  No 15,
either.

DX in the Novice bands?  I'll bet many of you have DS7SV in those old logs.
He spent massive amounts of time giving Novices their 1st serious DX Q's.
QSL card had a nice green background with his calling in a white/cream
script font across the face. Great and very patient op. 

 

Those were the days.

 I too often heard that K5BIJ call on the air.
I also heard and called that K7HFX guy from CZ - was that Central Arizona?

 Writing up my 3830scores report for Sprint CW, I reminded myself of this
story.

In the mid-1960s, in a CW CD Party, on 40M I was called by "K5BIJ".  I sent
him my report, but it took Katashe several tries for me to get his call
correctly.  I was astounded.  Back then I didn't know it was possible to
work Hawaii on 40M from Maryland.


My antenna was a dipole.  Pretty sure rcvr was my RME-4350 (maybe the "A"
version), and that I had already upgraded the xmtr from the BC-459 to a
second-hand Viking Ranger.
