[Elecraft] High bands open

[Rich Lim]

Supportive parents are great but tolerant XYLs are better. Back in the heyday running a linear on 40m, I would flash lights, open the garage, screw up the stereo and Tv in the house. Wife would smile and say to back off a bit! Now that’s awesome🥰 Now if I can’t get it done QRP, 100w is the max for me!

One of these messages talked about 20+ years ago at the peak of cycle 25.
I remember 64 years ago with a DX100B, 4 el yagi at 70 feet and BC348 with
a Gonset 10M converter for receive.  I was king of the bands, working the
world and every TV set in the county.  I'm not sure my parents even
mentioned it to me.  Only many years later did they tell me.  Obviously,
they were very supportive of their budding engineer. I am grateful.
