Fw: [Boatanchors] Do I Remember??

[Harold Smith]

When television first came out, Charlie Schmidt W0SZS now SK,had a TVI 
problem.

He was running a homemade pre WW2 transmitter with a pair of 808s in the 
final. The rig was built
in an open wooden rack. Charlie lived in Jennings, MO a suburb of St. Louis. 
Charlie was on ten
meters and received a TVI complaint from New York City. Now that's a strong 
second harmonic. Six
meters must had a good opening.
