Just had to share a grin with a few folks who would understand.

I was all ready to hit the Classic Exchange yesterday (Sunday) with my usual
collection of powerful boatanchor rigs like my Globe King, Valiant, DX100,
32V3, Apache, and on; but thanks to some freak weather the power
transmission line supplying my area went down Saturday evening at about 6:30
and was out for 25 hours!  So I hit the CX airways Sunday afternoon on 40
meters with my mighty Argonaut 505 running from a 12 volt storage battery.
With it's powerful 3 watts out, in an hour I worked stations in CA, OH, CO,
NC and MA from my qth in NM.  

I'm still smiling.

73,

Jim, W8KGI
