[AMRadio] Globe Champ 350 and HQ-170 are on the Air!

[Kim Elmore]

At least, I think so...
  It's all connected and all cables have been made. It sits nicely on 
my desk and seems to work well, though I couldn't raise anyone on 75 
m. It's late and I heard K4KYV very well, but couldn't break into the 
QSO he was having with KJ4somebody (I didn't write down the call). 
The HQ-170 hears well and the Champ tunes nominally as it should. The 
receiver muting works as it should when the Champ is in transmit 
mode. The old couple looks pretty good in here!

I'm using a vertical dipole on 75/80 m, so my radiation angle may be 
too low and my signal may be long towards K4KYV. He may simply be in 
my skip zone while I'm not in his. I should probably string up a 
dipole for 75 m. K4KYV had a beautiful signal here.

Now, I simply need to be heard by someone else!
