[HQRP] Re: HAMECO AC-1 Heads UP to 30 Meters!

[WR2E]

Andy, I enjoyed the QSO!  
Greetings friends and club members!

My shack is in my garage, and it is getting cold up here.
I'm operating with my Carhart cover-alls on.  The kerosene
heater sitting next to me is ticking as it's heating up.
Calling CQ, I hear a chirpy signal, off frequency a bit.
Not sure if he's calling me: QRZ DE WR2E K
Yep, I crank the RIT, but there's not enough range.
Where's my SX-28A when I need it ?
It takes me back about 35 years...

I expect to look over and see my trusty Johnson Ranger sitting 
there, but no, just one of them new-fangled Kenwood rigs. 
Ah well, there is some hope!  The bug I was using was a 1924
Vibroplex Original.

THIS is real radio!  Thanks!
Glad to be the first contact on 30 with the HAMECO!

73 de Jeff / WR2E
