[SixClub] Starting out on SIX

[Jim McKellips]

Yeap! I started on 6 Meters back in 1965, not much luck until I got a wide
spaced 6 ele beam at 40 feet. Then added an old Swan KW amp. If I heard it,
I worked it. Was fun from CA. Things are so much better here in the East. I
am running 100 watts into a 3 ele at 15 feet, and working many states and
grids. Grids weren't even heard of then, 1960s. Wait till I get my beam up
to 40 feet with 250 watts! Now thinking 5 elements!
