a recent qso about novice days, stimulated my interest and I got out my old log books. My very first cq qso was on november 24, 1969, with WN8AAD, George in Hamden Ohio, on 7.160mhz, at 22:45 I wonder whatever happened to ole George?
I swear I remember mom getting her ticket in 1967. She is WB5BBF, recently upgraded to general and renewed her ticket for another 10 years.
Even then, I *thought* I recalled the novice frequencies on 40m being from 7100 ~ 7150kc. The fone band was the same as it is now... 7150 ~ 7300kc.
Are you sure your first QSO was on 7160kc? ;-) 73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR (/5 New Orleans, LA)
