[Elecraft] Craziest / most rewarding QSOs

[Michael Blake]

Joe, my good 1958 memories include working a JA on 6M AM with my home-brew EMT ground plane, GlobeScout 680A, SX-99 and convertor.  Like all the other comments I never considered conditions changing. I had a 10M AM rig in my first car, in 1959, and worked the world on 29.6 AM.  In fact I met the father of my future bride on 10M AM.

Wayne will have to SQUISH this one for sure.  Oh, wait a minute, Wayne started this one:)
