[600MRG] New Part 5 Grant

[Brian, WA1ZMS]

That's great news!


<<<HUMOR>>>
I'm 48 yrs old.  If I live long enough to retire, I have 34 acres of land in
VT that would be
great for LF beverages aimed at Europe.

Question is: Can I survive another 20+ years to retire???? By then, the
"new" retirement
age will be at least 70. hi...hi...

John- BTW, the land is on Monument Hill Road, not too far from you. And
thanks for the
great talk you gave at my old club in Rutland. I was one of 7 Charter
Members of that club
back in the early 80's.  We needed a local club back then. Glad the GMWS
Club has
kept going all these years.

73.
-Brian, WA1ZMS/4 & XHS/31 (running 24/7 CW bcn on 477.9) and will be at
Dayton
in spaces 1922 & 1923 as usual.

A new Part 5'er joined the ranks today, Brian Pease WG2XPJ, in northern
Vermont, just got the word.

We have been going back and forth for several days trying to get a daytime
RX  (me to him) test going, hopefully this week.  He appears to have full RX
capability in place.

Brian is close to getting on the air with a highly experimental full
halfwave dipole at 475 KHz, elevated about a meter.  (Nice to have that kind
of real estate!)

Pease has considerable antenna experience, having worked in the Navy antenna
lab, dealing with LF and VLF communications

His grant proposal details the proposed experiment.

Welcome Brian!

John WG2XKA / WA3ETD
