[SCCC] LotW question

Thu Jun 13 11:48:08 EDT 2024

Hello Steve. Wow! Those calls W6BA/W6ANN bring back some old memories. I spent many many hours along with others operating many multi multi dx contests at Bill's 29 palms location. One of our operators was a teenager named Danny AD6DO who is now N6MJ. It was fun watching him operate back in those days!

As a side note, Bill was the original president of the Southern California DX Club and made the very first contact on 10 meters from the West Coast to the East Coast.

I miss the chats that I used to have with Bill.

Thanks, everyone; I have a number of leads to pursue at my leisure now.

I was planning to operate FD with my local club, the Morongo Basin ARC
(the trustee of W6BA, the callsign of SCDXC member W6ANN/W6BA back in
the olden days); however, I just learned that our FD chairman is in the
hospital with a foot injury and may not be out by then. So our FD will
likely be cancelled, and I'll have that weekend off  (since I don't do
digital or voice, and thus have no interest whatsoever in chasing that
FT4xx guy; but I'm looking forward to all of George Wallner's
operations!!) 8-D

TNX,

Steve K0XP
