Just had to share a grin with a few folks who would understand.
I was all ready to hit the Classic Exchange yesterday (Sunday) with my usual
collection of powerful boatanchor rigs like my Globe King, Valiant, DX100,
32V3, Apache, and on; but thanks to some freak weather the power transmission
line supplying my area went down Saturday evening at about 6:30 and was out for
25 hours! So I hit the CX airways Sunday afternoon on 40 meters with my mighty
Argonaut 505 running from a 12 volt storage battery. With it's powerful 3
watts out, in an hour I worked stations in CA, OH, CO, NC and MA from my qth in
NM.
I'm still smiling.
73,
Jim, W8KGI
