BACK IN TIME ABOUT 1974 I GOT INTO HAM RADIO RADIO WITH A HEATHKIT HW16 AT THIS TIME I WAS ABOUT 22 YEARS OLD AND LIVE IN A PLACE WHERE YOU COULD NOT PUT UP ANTENNA. LIVEING ON A CONER LOT AND SOME BIG TREE I WAS ABLE TO GET A 80 AND 40 METER DIPOLE ABOUT 10 FEET OFF THE GROUND WITH ABOUT 7O FEET OF FED LINE UNGROUND TO MY HOUSE. THE ANTENNA WAS MORE IN A CORN FELD . IT WORK GREAT WITH THE HW16 AND 50 WATTS ON 40 AND 80 METER. ALWAY ENJOY CW. IN MY YOUNGER DAY A COULD COPY ABOUT 14 WPM IN BAD QRM.. NOW IT ABOUT 10 WPM WITH NO QRM HI HI....
