My most memorable contact was in 1976.
It was the Centennial and we could use special calls during that year.
I worked AC1AW (W1AW) on 6 meter CW running 10 watts.
It was only after I signed, that I realized that I had forgotten to switch from the dummy load to my 6 Mtr yagi.
10 w at 1000 miles on 6 mtrs - using a dummy load that was radiating a signal.
I won't do that again!!
