[ADXA] W5TIZ

[Nick Kennedy]

Back around 1964 or so I was visiting some hams in LR and being toured
around to meet a few guys, and one of them was a blind ham working DX. So
it must have been him. He may have been using an HT-37 but I'm not sure.
But he was working England on SSB and I was highly impressed.

Everything interlocks and comes back.
