Active Ham Radio operator since 1950

Kjell Rasmusson, QRV on 144 MHz EME since 1968.
"My very first EME-experiments started back in 1968 working K6MYC and ZL1AZR. Signals were very weak but readable. The 1968 style rig was all homebrew putting out some 1300 Watts to 160 element phased array. The antenna was designed by my self and Yngve Persson SM7BCX. Receiver was an old Collins 75A2 with AF239 germanium transistor converter. State of the art in those days" 

"As far as I remeber K6MYC was using about 700 watts output and 160 elements collinear antenna" 

"This is my old homebrew 144 MHz transmitter together with Drake R4B receiver. Built 1967.
