[Boatanchors] 10 meters

[rbethman]

I remember the strange propagation when I was across the pond, '68 - '69.

We heard calls for a medevac from Korea while we were on a ridge in 
'Nam.  That was the old PRC-25 with the measuring tape style short 
whip.  We pulled out the "long" segmented one and listened for a bit.

I didn't get my license until mid '80.  That fall I went and got the 
General done in October 1980.  Originally KA4PBD.

I renewed in 1982 while in Missouri.  Checked one wrong box and got the 
Zero land call.

The activity on 10 meters in 80 was pretty darn good!  I was at Ft. 
Benning, and made a whole lot of contacts in AZ, NM, and NV.

The late '50s would be out of MY range.  I was born in '50.
