although not the 'real old days', if you can get your hands on some 1957 / 
58 CQ mags, the VHF columns were full of pictures and letters from JA's who 
had been working the west coast on 6m F2 at the peak of Cycle 19. A lrage 
number of them were using small homebrew rigs with a 6AQ5 in the final and 
AM modulated with a 6AQ5...amazing days!!
