I traded a 75A2 for a new 6m Gooney III in 1960. I worked nothing but 6m
for the next two years until I went in the Army in 1962.
Spent many a night on SF's Twin Peaks with that radio. One of my
happiest times in ham radio. I'm pretty sure 50.125 was calling
frequency then too. The band was all AM. CW was rare. SSB was mostly
non-existent.

Well still not wealthy but maybe I should upgrade and put together the
Johnson 6N2 new in the box kit that rests in the basement.

Yep, that Heath Sixer was quite a rig. If you were wealthy, you
could move up to a Johnson 6N2. [:-)
