[SECC] My First Sweepstakes - the continuing saga

[Roger L. Hackler]

Jim:

I'm happy to hear that you did the 1969 novice roundup in 1969, instead of
in 1968 or in 1970.

Was your score better than this years SSCW submission? :)

Roger, KN6RO

I remember the 1969 Novice Roundup as WN2MBP in 1969...

Heathkit HW-16 with a few crystals as well.  Can't even remember what score
came out of that 'contest'.  It was a real joy working others with the same
plight!  The W9 'TO' keyer was the real thing and the vibroplex paddle made
the neon light do it's dance!

My First SS:

1969 as WN4JYB

Knight-Kit T60 transmitter with 3 crystals (one each in the Novice 80,
40, and 15 meter segments)

Hammarlund HQ-110 receiver

W3DZZ all band dipole

On a good day, the old T60 would crank out 40 watts.  I must have put in
15 hours of operation and managed to make, what to me at the time was,
an amazing 27 QSOs!

Kent, AE4Y
