[SCCC] W4EF summary, old SCCC photo?

[Dennis Younker NE6I]

It has been a long time since I have been to Earl's house. It was only in 
recent years that the road in front of his house was paved.  The antennas 
appear to be pointing toward Europe in the photo.   His street runs east and 
west and the house is on the north side of the street.

When I operated there in the late 1970s, the shack was in a room on the east 
side of the house. I loved looking out the window at the 40 meter beam. 
Sunrise out that window was pretty special too.  There were no houses in 
that direction for at least a half mile.  In fact, there was pretty much 
that same clearance in all directions.

I don't recall how much property he owned but in addition to the two towers 
seen in the photo, he had several beverages strung out and 80 & 160 m 
inverted vees.

At the time, the towers were tilt over, not crank up.  In fact, the first 
time I operated there (1977), I had a real scare as I drove up in the 
morning to operate CQP.  It was only about an hour or so before the contest, 
and he had the TH6 tower tilted over for some work!  My heart sank. 
However, he had it back in the air in plenty of time and I did quite well 
from there.

--Dennis, NE6I
