: Topband: Notes on early QSO's

[Ragnar Otterstad]

Wally:

Your posting brings back memories of my first USA qso on 160, which was you.
I lived in Oslo suburbia at the time
and used an inverted L per W1BBs instructions. He was kind enough to mail me
a complete drawing of what he felt would be a good beginners choice.  I
managed to get the wire over a birch tree on my neighbours land and spread
out an odd number of radials on the rock where out house was.

My first West coast was W7LR and I thought somebody was joking with me.
Working W7 on 160 was something I never had thought would be possible !!
But a letter with qsl and photos of his installation convinced me !  hi


I hope the bigger letters makes the reading easier on your eye !
