Blast from the Past…
Blast from the Past…
I picked up a couple of DVDs with almost all of the back issues of 73 magazine.
As I was browsing through the good old days, I came across the issue that gave me my 15 seconds of fame…
That entry was from the October, 1985 issue of 73 Magazine. I had been randomly selected to receive an award for representing all of their subscribers for their Silver Anniversary edition.
The prize was a very nice Astatic Silver Eagle D-104 microphone. While I appreciated the sudden change of luck (I normally do not have much luck, that’s why I don’t gamble…) I did not keep the gift. As I recall, I had it hooked up to my Kenwood TS-430 for a while, but decided that it did not have the sound that I liked. It also required a 9 volt battery to be replaced regularly. I sold it later that year at one of the local Hamfest auctions.
Anyway, it was fun to run across that, and share it here…
