In 1973, my Ameco TX-62 and I were on 145.08 and 50.4 AM.  There was 
always a group of folks to work on 2 meters in the evening for a good 
part of the 1970s.  Most of the six meter guys like W3BWU and W3UEJ had 
already moved to SSB because KDKA in Pittsburgh was the CBS affiliate on 
Channel 2, and being 30 miles away was brutal for TVI - but as a broke 
college kid I couldn't afford a sideband rig.

73,
