I was spoiled. The University of Wisconsin back around 1990 gave all of
us free Internet at our homes @ 9000 baud, then shortly thereafter at
14.4 Kbs on the 151 acre farm where I lived.
K9KJP from back in 1957 (8th grade). During the 1960s, I was the chief
engineer at a 10KW daytimer (WAUK 1510 KHz) starting at age 22. Was one
of two 10 KWs in WI, then. Used the two-tower array on 75, 80, and 160
meters at night. Rig was a 4CX1000A homebrew 4 KW rig, slightly
over-powered (by a factor of 4). Towers were 5/8 wavelength on 75
meters. 360 ground radials in a peat bog. Consistently contacted South
America on 75.
