[50mhz] GLAD TO BE A NEW MEMBER

[JDer8745@aol.com]

Howdy,

Been on 6 meters since 1960.  Originally with a Heathkit Sixer and a HyGain 
Mod 65B antenna.  Worked over 25 states wid the lunchbox.

Upgraded the receiver with a nuvister converter and a BC342.

Then upgraded the xmtr with a Seneca.  Used that combo for a long time.

After being off the air for a long time upgraded T to A in 1990.

Upgraded rig then to a TS-680 and 150-W Mirage, which I still have but do not 
use.

Upgraded in 1993 to TS-690S which got zapped by lighning this past summer.

Now have TS-570S and IC-746.  Recently replaced 42-year old Hygain antenna 
with a 3-el Cushcraft.  Now, that's progress!

I monitor 50.125 almost around the clock.  The late K9IKQ and I built the 
first repeater in Terre Haute for 6-m FM.  There is still a 6-m rptr here but 
gets not much use.

I am looking forward to reading this group.

Best 73, Jack, K9CUN
