Dunc,
Everything is relative and boy can I appreciate your joy with the old
HRO. There was a good bit to be said for the Novice Class license. I
remember in 1960 operating with a military surplus RBG2 (Super Pro) and TCS
crystal controlled in my case tank transmitter. My father(later
Doug,
It has been said that climbing towers keeps the joints in good shape :-)
First licensed in 1946 when a young boy, callsign VQ8AK, Rx a TRF with regen
detector, Tx a 6L6 - 807, both homebrewed on breadboards borrowed from my
Mother ( I did ask her)!

And yet people still complain about contests...
IMHO, if it weren't for contesting the bands would be real quiet.
By the way, it is not my goal to make this into a contesting yes or no

On Sunday I worked tons of JA, and was called by VK and ZS. A hell for me

well below the threshold of pain. The AGC was tending to make all the
signals the same level. Turning it off helped me a bunch. For most of
the contest

Here's a screen shot of the 20m band at one time during the CW
contest. It indicates to me that there is no place to hide if you're
a CW operator and want to have a rag chew on 20m.

CW DX was both amazing and fun! The world opened up, and the K3 brought great
joy in being able to not only hear them all, but work them all! There wasn't a
call that I heard I couldn't get a report back from! 24 hours of the day I
checked in, and it was always the same thing. Calls I
