[CW] Your Help Would be Appreciated

Mon Jan 24 11:42:50 EST 2011

All I remember is W1ZPB, as I was intimidated because the VT border was
about a mile away and I thought they'd shoot interlopers!

I used to operate in the Eastern Massachusetts Net - now the Eastern
Massachusetts - Rhode Island CW Net starting in 1965 and was quite active in
it at various periods, and also First Regional net - 1RN where I was NCS for
a term and also I checked into Eastern Area Net - EAN when no one could
bring "thru" traffic from 1RN.

Such fun days!
