Reminds me of a time long long ago when I was part of a
spontaneous field day group that met in a park in Pleasant Hill
Ca. We called ourselves the Pleasant Hill Amateur Radio
Transmitting Society or, PHARTS for short. Had a lot of fun and
were using an Atlas 210 solid state rig with a braille dial that
you could order for the rig. That was back in hmmh, maybe 1976.
