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.
