That was the birth of EME, not a resurgance. Sam, W1FZJ, made the first EME 
contact just a few years before moving from MA to PR. I was one of his 
antenna "apes" in MA as his favorite saying was "if it stayed up during a NE 
winter it wasnt big enough". His monster 144 and 432 Cushcraft collinear 
arrays on the big towers were always shedding parts.

While Sam was a big gun on 75 SSB with a 30L1 driving PP 750TH's to a Lazy H 
I dont remember him even having gear for 160 as he was using S Line with a 
R-390 as a 2nd receiver.
