[Elecraft] In Fear and Trepidation

[Dale Putnam]

And the excitement, and memories found so fondly during the Classic Exchange event.

With the Johnson rigs, the Heathkit, there were Collins, Drakes, Hallis, HRO, SX, DX100s, and DX40s, Eico 720s, and more.. and during the Classic Exchange, part of the exchange is finding out what it is you are talking to... sometimes.... it was right obvious, other times, I had to be told. Then, there were a handful of K2s running qrp... too.
