[ADXA] another old local story - BDU & RZ- 160m DXCC comment from Jay

[jayw5jay]

San after a cools off I'm going to make an effort to dig through all the boxes that are in storage and see if I can't find those framed certificates. I am sure they are here somewhere. The 160 m and 5 band dxcc were the only two that I had on the wall down in Fort Smith. Those really meant a lot to me. Isn't this coming weekend ows meeting? If so I hope to see you then!  73 JSent from my Galaxy

Fun times.. Hamfest competitions for the CW guys. The  “good ole days”.. 👍 Jay, I kept my 160m DXCC certificate #18 issued in December 1980, a LONG time ago, 42 years. I too have lost a few certificates in our many moves over the years but those in frames are still in the attic as memories, stacked in boxes.. Just no place to put them on my ham shack walls. 😉  >> But, the 160m DXCC #18 IS on the wall! A special memory. Enjoy ADXA conversations, read most, just don’t comment as much as I used to. 73 all! 😊San YY  Sent from Mail for Windows From: Dennis SchaeferSent: Sunday, August 21, 2022 8:14 AMTo: jayw5jayCc: ADXASubject: Re: [ADXA] Just another old local story - BDU & RZ Actually, Jonathan gives me too much credit.  Nick and I share the record for LR hamfest competitions, but it is only 50 WPM.  Anytime I checked my copying ability, I topped out at about 52 WPM.  Must be a physiological limit of some kind, because I tried hard by listening a lot at 55 and 60 but it didn’t help.   73,DennisOn Aug 21, 2022, at 3:20 AM, jayw5jay <jayw5jay at cox.net> wrote:Wow you're lucky to have such great Elmer's. I was trying to think when I first met Nick and Dennis. I just don't remember now. Both are class acts!!! I have seen Dennis at a few of those shootouts. I think if anyone won those besides Dennis it was because he decided not to participate. Always great fun seeing a half a dozen guys trying to see how fast they could copy cw. 73 jay..

Nick & Dennis went "head-to-head" in the CW Shoot Out. They Lived 10 miles apart. Best of friends.Other guys dropped out @ 40 - 45 WPM. Dennis and Nick both passed 60 WPM.The guy with the cassette tapes, conducting the contest, said "I Don't know what to do guys. That is the last of my code tapes."Dennis & Nick shook hands and called it a tie.As far as I know, That Record still Stands.---That's how I remember it.= QJ - QJ______________________________________________________________ADXA mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/adxaHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:ADXA at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
