I was looking through the surviving log books my dad kept (he was W5JHJ, SK
2007) and came across some Anciente Entries made while I was in the Olde OU
ARC (maybe the president?)  my first year at OU (I transferred from the
Univ. of Tulsa ans an Engineering Physics major to study meteorology. He
lived in Tulsa and we had some QSOs while I was using the club gear after
we repaired it -- it was a Heathkit HW-101 transceiver; I was using the
club's call, W5TC. The station was set up in the top floor of the Carson
Engineering Center and I have no idea what the antenna was -- likely a
dipole strung up on the roof. There was a flurry of QSOs on 80 m CW, all on
3575 kHz.

We apparently tried on two other occasions, 25 Oct and 27 Oct, but signals
were not usable.

Why not phone (SSB), you ask? Because my dad had only AM capability at the
time -- he didn't have an SSB-capable transmitter. As an aside, the very
transmitter and receiver he used is sitting on my operating desk and in
perfect working order.
