[Mldxcc] [NCCC] WPX CW K6LRN SOAB HP

[Bill Haddon]

As KN6OPI I first worked Dick, KN6LRN, on Jan 14, 1956 on 15m at 2303Z.
Subsequent Q's on 2/12/56, 5/22/56 and 5/27/56.

But I believe we were friends through SFRC prior to our first on-the-air
QSO;  SFRC met in the Forest Hills Clubhouse near the Forest Hills Muni
station above the Tunnel and we probably met in person there.  I remember
doing stuff (who knows what) locally with Dick, since we were both in SF .
. me at the Beach at 48th and Santiago; not sure where Dick lived.  I was
doing 9th grade at AP Giannini Jr HS in the Sunset.  I had many more on the
air Q's with Joe, KN6LVT, down the peninsula.

Much later, I worked K6LRN  as N6ZFO, having stumbled into the CQP on a Sat
evening; that revived my interested in contesting.  I had won the CW
Sweepstakes for SF section in maybe 1958 with 126,000 points in the old
system where a 1.25 power* multiplier was applied to the score.  W6BIP did
not compete that year.

*One might think that 1.25 score mult was an approximate;  My short writeup
in the K6XX SS Handbook, shows that an independent calculation in ~2002
gives a "correct" multiplier of ~1.27. I did that calculation to show that
multi-thousand $'s put into amps gives only a 25% or so score increase; a
much smaller amount put into antennas often gives an equal or bigger
dividend.
