[Herbert Schoenbohm]

JC,  In 1965 I remember taking the ferry from Rio over to Niteroi while 
hauling a large trunk with some Drake Twins, some wire and a tuner,  
along with the help of  Rolf Rasp over to a location (PY1NFC?) in 
Niteroi  I was able to get on the air on 160 to and work W1BB and other 
TB faithfuls who then needed Brazil for a TB new one.  It was a major 
effort amid the thunderous QRN just for a dozen TB contacts but worth 
every minute.
