Warmth in Antarctica
October author Ted Cohen, N4XX (“Antarctic Memories”) wrote the following to fellow author Stew Gilmor, W1FK, after reading his adjacent article, “The Chill in Antarctica”:
Great memories, Stew … Loved the story about you and your soon-to-be-wife. With the equipment I had, the only messages I was able to get to my girlfriend, Susan, in Madison, Wisconsin (the woman who eventually would become my wife in 1964) was via CW. But in both our cases, ham radio came through for us when there was literally no other way to communicate with our loved ones.
