W1HOY 1956 Medfield, Massachusetts

Operator: Helen Harris, XYL of W8UKS
The QSO seems to be crossband 6 meters to 10 meters.

 

Why is this card still interesting? 2 reasons:
1. It is one year later than the 1st card shown (almost to the day) and by this time she has 32 elements on 6m as opposed to 16 elements a year earlier. 32 elements on 6m?? And she is running 1000 watts on 6M AM back in 1956/57? What a super station that was!
2. Also it seems that she was working on 6M WAS at the time, see
http://www.qsl.net/ve2pij/vhfwas.html . Note that the QSO was on December 9th and she mails her card asking for Ralph Harkless K6YCS to confirm the QSO on very next day. So my guess is that she needed California.
