Topband: Field Day...W1BB QSL

[Mike & Coreen Smith]

WOw-that's a keeper Charles, !

I recall reading about him when I was just a kid...newly licensed. c-1978
It inspired me to try 160m mobile.....for a while. (did it for around 1 
winter back in the mid 90's)
I could not get the image of the flower-pot loading coil on the trunk of his 
car, out of my mind.

Gearing up to try it again someday.

RIP Stew.

  I did it once, running 75 Watts through an antenna tuner to an 80-meter 
dipole with one end hung from a water tower in NJ.

  My most important souvenir of the event is in front of me--A W1BB QSL card 
giving me a 599 report on 24 June 1973 from Harrington, ME.

  As always, Stew went first class in antennas with a 500-foot inverted vee. 
He was not roughing it in the wild, but operating I believe  from his summer 
home.

  73,

  Charles, W2SH
