1977 ARRL 10 Meter Contest

I have titled this photo "Geeks in their natural habitat" (the Ham Shack!).

In 1977, Rich WB1DUG (on left) and Me K1PU (then WA1ZEK), enter our first contest, the 1977 ARRL 10 Meter Contest.

This photo is a scan of June 1978 QST, page 75, contest results write-up by Tom, K1KI.

The original photo (in color) is long lost, but was taken by one of Rich's sisters (I think Laura ... I could be wrong after 30+ years) on December 11, 1977.

We where both "experienced" Novices then (a whole year licensed!), so it was a CW only effort.

By the time this appeared in QST, we both had made the trek to the Boston FCC office and upgraded to General Class.
