[Boatanchors] Do I Remember??

Thats Low Band VHF and the oil companies, utilities plus many others still 
use it and still have the same problem every cycle.

I use those frequencies to plot MUF for potential 6M openings.

Bob and all...I remember back in 1958 that we had a CD Unit in Bangor,
Maine and we all had 10 Watt
transmitters on 29.520 and we would have a transmitter hunt every
Wednesday night. Many times guys from Australia, New Zeeland and other
countries would break in for signal reports and say they could copy our
hidden transmitter better then we could. One of our group owned a home
oil delivery company using High Band and he would dispatch trucks in
Australia and they would dispatch trucks in Maine...

Ahhhh the good old days  HI

Do I remember correctly.

During the HOT TIME in 1957/58 people in the States were working
Austraila on 10M with low power transmitter. gennerally 25w or less.

That was also the period of the first Class D CB service. And even CBers
were working Austrailia on 5W.

At that time 10M was a common mobile band so lower power transmitter
were also common.

Do I remember that in that peroiod that high power transmitters were not
common on 15M and 10M. Remember, those were the days before the high
power linears that became popular in the 60's.
