Default WWII Direction Finder Fix

I hate to be a nit-picker, but my article was in the Jan 2007 issue of QST, not
2002. In addition, there were nine Adcocks in Hawaii, and at least 50 on the
Mainland DURING WW2, not just me. The article is not on my web page, as
indicated below, but for those who don't have the above issue of QST, let me
know and I'll send you a copy.

Walt, W2DU


Walter Maxwell worked for the FCC at war`s end in Hawaii and equipped
himself with an Adcock antenna so he could advise lost American aviators
of their positions in the Pacific. I think Walter has published his
story in a radio magazine.


Yep. Walter Maxwell (W2DU) emailed me a copy of his article from the
Jan 2002 issue of QST. Very interesting and well worth reading. I
don't consider it good form to resend what looks like copyrighted
material, so you'll have to either get your copy from the author or
from the ARRL archives:
