Field Day 1968 - I had just upgraded to general (WB4JKS) and using my old homebrew novice transmitter note the pile of crystals to my right.

AF4HL Oscar T. 'Tom' Morgan Murrells Inlet, SC QCWA # 37488

NAQCC #8041

NAQCC 1000 Miles per Watt 40m, 30m, 20m

QSL information

I lean more toward LOTW these days (instant gratification) and I upload to LOTW and eQSL at least once daily.

I love paper QSL's as well, and am proud do display every one I get. So, if you would like a paper card, then just send me one (via Bureau or Direct mail) and I will send you one direct. No IRC, green stamps or SASE necessary. Deal?
