Great story Rick…  I attended GT from Fall of 61 until summer of 1963, then on to U of A.  I worked at WQXI-AM on 1250 which was on the GT campus. I applied for the 50-60s record spinning afternoon or night show for 4 hours, and they knew I had worked at KWAK in Stuttgart and some on the side at KDEW in DeWitt. That helped me with the 90 cents an hour gig.. It paid for my hamburgers and milk shakes at the Varsity drive thru across the main hiway from GT. TU for the memory! 

Unfortunately did not work much DX those two years until home in Stuttgart during the summer break, at Thanksgiving and Christmas or at Spring breaks. Got a new rig in 1963, a Swan tribander and was mobile with it at the U of A with a Hustler antenna on my Chevy Corvair Monza. 1965 changed drastically when got to medical school and had a house and 33 foot tower a block away, using an NCX-1000 amp with a couple of different transceivers. All heck broke loose in July 70 after Swan Island KS4 at our new house in Stuttgart with an 80 foot tower and 3 rigs to chose from and a 4 element 20m HyGain beam. DX really hit me at that point.

Thought I'd post this for the benefit of San! Ran across this card while
sorting through old cards. Worked The GT Radio Club back in May of
1977 while operating as WB5YEF (Secondary call back in the day)
at Fort Bliss, TX.  20m SSB. I found the comment very interesting -
"Tnx for QSO, QSL # 59,047!"  Some record keeping effort!
