Subject: Re: [CQ-Contest] Early DX'ing and contesting
Bill Leonard W2SKE (SK) wrote an article for Sports Illustrated in 1958 about
operating multi multi at K2GL. I have a printed copy. I seem to recall it may
be on the K8CX web site. If there is an article about giants walking the bands
I would like to have it.
