Bob and all...I remember back in 1958 that we had a CD Unit in Bangor, Maine and we all had 10 Watt transmitters on 29.520 and we would have a transmitter hunt every Wednesday night. Many times guys from Australia, New Zeeland and other countries would break in for signal reports and say they could copy our hidden transmitter better then we could. One of our group owned a home oil delivery company using High Band and he would dispatch trucks in Australia and they would dispatch trucks in Maine...
Ahhhh the good old days HI Bob W1PE -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Macklin Sent: Saturday, October 27, 2007 2:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Boatanchors list; AM Radio Subject: [Boatanchors] Do I Remember?? Do I remember correctly. During the HOT TIME in 1957/58 people in the States were working Austraila on 10M with low power transmitter. gennerally 25w or less. That was also the period of the first Class D CB service. And even CBers were working Austrailia on 5W. At that time 10M was a common mobile band so lower power transmitter were also common. Do I remember that in that peroiod that high power transmitters were not common on 15M and 10M. Remember, those were the days before the high power linears that became popular in the 60's.
