Cycle 20
After being on the band since Dec 1963 this was my first 6-m F2
QSO
(having heard some in April 1967). This was a crossmode
contact with me using cw with a Utica 650A to the 5-el Cushcraft
at around 20' AGL in Austin, TX.
(This card arrived direct before I even could even get mine sent out!)
This was an F2 backscatter QSO with Jorge might have been the first CX 6-m ssb op.
the Swan 250's beam aimed south. I've managed to work him in Cycles 20-23 now.
This may've been my best DX for Cycle 20 from here. Thus no Europe,
Africa, or Asia yet.
