Topband: Field Day Classic 1950s

[Carl]

Mine was a HQ-129X, Viking I and 122VFO, plus DB-22A preselector for the 
high bands.

This was a 3 station event with HS friends on a high open field in LI NY in 
1957.

Antennas were various wires on push up masts that doubled as supports for a 
HB10 and 15M ground plane.

Power was some old WW2 surplus generator. Most fit in an almost new 57 
Hudson wagon with the big Packard V8 and the  roof racks, that car was huge 
and was driven by one of the dads. The rest went in my 49 Ford 2 dr. I think 
both vehicles made 2 trips and my Ford stayed on site for gas runs, that 
genny was thirsty and belonged to the Hudson owner; they were big into 
camping.
