Just worked Bert on 3.815 AM. I forgot to give him a Signal report - if you read this Bert, it was 5-5 to 5-6 in Park City, KS -- DE W0EB. Unfortunately I wasn't QRP at the time - used my K3S barefoot

I have fond memories of those old heavy copper soldering irons. The first radio I ever repaired (I was around 11 years old) was done with one of those irons heated on the kitchen stove! The radio was
