Just a few words from me on qro.
It has been a few years back, but I recall seeing 4-400's (4 of `em") with
plates that were white in color behind old WW II bullet proof glass to protect
the onlookers. Giggle now as I also recall being told to read the novice test
Q&A with that light in hopes that I might learn something from it. This was in
1952. At the same qth, on cool misty days you could watch the moisture on the
RG-17 coax grow warm and evaporate as the operator manned the station. That
fellow who was the VC when I passed my extra in y2k is now a sk.
73,

( I like the lusty glow of the 3-550 Z's in my AL-82 nowadays)

Back "in-the-day", if you "put the L-network inline" , the driver was a 30L-1.
