[SCCC] W6 Multi Operations in the 50s

[W6UM at aol.com]

Another multi-multi of that era was W6YRA, at UCLA. Our scores may have  
never made it into QST because we managed to get disqualified nearly every 
time  for being outside the band. In those days an FCC infraction or OO notice 
was an  automatic DQ. Looks like things may have gone in a complete circle, 
with some  stations in the modern era also actually being DQed.

In case  you missed this.... it's 5PM  Wednesday.
I'm curious to see if early West  Coast efforts are  recognized, or if 
it's just another East Coast-centric  show!  ;-)
My understanding is that W6RW and W6AM (possibly others, like   W6YMD) 
were doing M/M ops in the Fifties.  I have not researched  this  in 
contest results.  Let's see what Doug has  learned.

I missed this last  night.  But I did look in the old QST's from  the
50's.   Some interesting multiop scores back then.  There was 
no breakdown on  how many transmitters were being used.
Some of these guys are still  around.  It would be interesting 
to hear comments from K6EVR, W6UED,  W6NJU, or W6ITA.

1955:  
W6YMD  +W6AOA, W6BXL, W6FUF,  W6IFW, W6IBZ, W6KFV,
W6OZ, W6PB

W6ITA  + W6OEG,  W6ENV

1956:
W6RW  +W6MBA, W6NJU, W6QJI, W6VSS, K6EVR,  K6EWL

1957:
W6RW +W6LDR, W6MBA, W6NJU, K6DDO,  K6LGF

W6VSS  +W6UED, K6CZY, K6EVR

It was the 1958 ARRL DX  Contest that the FCC made their
visits to several prominent California  stations.  The contest
report didn't mention the stations that were  busted.  The
report also mentioned the W2SKE article from Sports  Illustrated
about the "Battle of the Hams" which is still great  reading.
(It can be found on the internet.)

"Them was the  days."
