Re: [AMRadio] Old Novice Days

[Joe Crawford]

The Novice 40m band in late '60's/early '70's was 7150 to 7200. I had 
crystals on 7173 and 7175 and 7163(I think). Lots of fun with Ameco AC-1 and 
Drake 2-A(sadly, don't have either one now).

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?
