[SOC] Meet the FOCkers

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

Hey, when they kicked "SS" (original callsign) off of 600 meters and shoved 
him down to "200 meters and down" (think down in meters, up in frequency - 
or in modern measurement - 1500 kHz and up) he moved to the lowest frequency 
he could - and stayed there.

He liked spark (he probably thought the ozone was refreshing smell) but 
continuous wave was the way to go - and he converted.  He even got a SSB 
radio at the end - HT32B.

He worked most of the DX from home in Winthrop, MA with a 50 foot vertical 
along side his house.  He had an alternate site in Winthrop two dipole vees 
phased from a water tower and a place in Maine.
