The Worlds' Fair, to be precise when I was staying with a cousin on Eaton Neck Point (not sure of the spelling and it has been 44 years or so LOL). Tried - was it K2US - the ham shack in the Coke pavillion. A killer watt on 20 meters netted me a guy on Long Island. Sheesh :)) I did a lot better running 60-70 watts on cw from the home shack LOL. Heck, 65 watts on AM used to get me into Italy just fine. But Long Island running a KW? Give me a break. Why that guy responded I never did understand. I killfiled all the rec.radio.amateur as they had gotten so bad as of a year or more ago. Idiots came flaming into rec.radio.cb and got what they asked for, I guess, although a number of them are still rattling on around here. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim Jeez Jim Eatons Neck Point is money. Glad to hear you were rich back then ;) Yeah the amateurs figured that if there is trash on their ng why not xpost it to the 'supposed' lower class operators on this ng. Good to hear from you again Jim. Regards. |

Good to hear from you again Jim. Regards. You're right about money. I stayed with my 3rd cousin. Good grief, his wife only made one meal per week for him. That was Sunday. Every other day, they ate out. I nearly croaked when we went for dinner that first night. Spaghetti, the cheapest thing on the menu, was $8.00. Remember, this was 1964 (I think LOL). He was the general manager of Pickering (the phonograph cartridge maker) and later became the president of Pickering. His neighbor was ... gad, I'm trying to remember .... some big banker .... with his own helicopter. Yep, big money there LOL. I almost came close. My grandfather and his parents immigrated from Scotland. My grandfather was born in 1891 and (I'm wondering how many jobs they were working and how much money my great-grandfather had), in the 1920 census they were both listed as "stonecutters". My dad showed up in the 1920 census as 6 months old (he is still alive and doing well). Well, my great-grandfather and my grandfather ended up owning Gouverneur Marble Works (I was born in Gouverneur). Before the great depression, my grandfather (still quite young) was worth 3/4 million. That was *money* in those days and my other grandparents were quite well off. He worked in a lace mill and owned some restaurants as well. I've seen some "society" pages from the Gouverneur Tribune and those families were "in". The depression wiped my dad's grandfather and father out and then Gouverneur Marble ran out of marble :( Such is life. At least I've never had to deal with being rich and loosing it all. Great to hear from some of the folks in this ng. One can't tell what the virtue (or lack thereof) of folks is by the having or not having a ticket. Heck, I've had a good chat with a guy who, upon hearing of my interest in black holes, asked if I had college level calculus. When I answered in the affirmative, he suggested I take his course at the U. of R. He taught theoretical physics! I respectfully declined as I've been out of school over 40 years now and hardly can tell an integral from an integer LOL. 73 from Rochester, NY Jim |
