btw, it is just about 81 years since the first transatlantic 2 way QSO
on "short waves". Americans 1XAM/1MO and 1QP (in CT, right across the
Sound from you) at this end, and French 8AB at the other end.
November, 1923. They ran a bit more than 3 watts, though.

73 es congrats de Jim, N2EY

Did you QSL?


At least 1XAM/1MO and 1QP had authorizations to operate from thier
respective locations.


They also had antennas..


Yes Sir, they did...And other radio operators knew they were men of action
because they not only documented what they did, they we out and among the
others...Others had actually WORKED them on the air!
