Mine was on Oscar 6 & 7, mode A Drake TR-4 and quad loop laid horizontally for recv.
Transmit was a 4 ele cushcraft fox hunt beam, and a rock bound FM two meter tranny with dev and mic gains turned fully down, and we straight keyed the PTT. and amazingly it was pretty clean just a barely detectable chirp, but heard lots worse chirpers in those days on HF. so felt pretty good. Workked in less than a year like 28 states with the 10 wayy FM rig running cw.
