Dear "weatherall" with no call sign:

It was good. At the University, a classmate of mine (W8BZB) had a little
car because his home was in town (in those days, a student normally had to
be 21 in order to be allowed to drive). He set up a 10 meter AM mobile and
regularly made contacts into Europe and beyond. The tube set got its HV
from a dynamotor (DC motor running a DC generator with many parts in
common). His little car had a 6 VDC system. After quite some time, he
noticed that the dynamotor was a 12 volt device!

Yes, propagation was great.
