[SCCC] NCJ article

[Jim Price]

Kurt, Same deal for me, but 1963 in Santa Maria, CA.  I got WN6DPV early in the year, but by FD I had upgraded to General and WB6DPV.  I can recall operating a Collins KWM-2 in FD with what is now the Satellite ARC (W6AB) at Vandenberg AFB.  What a treat THAT was!!  73Jim K6ZH Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone

It is great reading especially for those of us who contested back in that time period.  At the end of the article Jim calls it the end of Part 1.  I am looking forward to Part 2. In the beginning he talks about being exposed to contesting at Field Day in 1955.  That was the same Field Day that I got hooked on contests.  It was in Pacific Grove by the Monterey Bay Radio Club W6UCS.  I was still a novice and I didn't get to operate.  But the bug was planted listening to the big guys making serial contacts one after another with all these neat places. I hope everyone enjoys the article as much as I did.
