Receiver was a National SW-54. Antenna was 120 feet of TV twin lead using a small home made tuner [made by my Elmer]. [Total cost $65]. On my first weekend I earned the WATV award :-) On my second weekend I earned the MLL Award :-) On the third weekend I earned the OTA award. On the fourth weekend my Elmer responded to my awards with corrective action. Praise the Lord for Elmer [Ralph Tedford, [W1GID ?] SK] Subsequently, been on the air for 50+ years. |
