Yes, I recall trying to work some guy in Ohio (from New York) on 10m AM phone and those pesky JA stations covered him up. The guy with the gooney box on 6 meters was really rolling them up, though, all over North America.

Jim,

I bet FD in 1957 was a real hoot (at the record peak of the sunspot cycle).
