Was it something I said, or what?
Just gotta make sure this newsgroup is still working! :-)

Hi, Irv -

I did not think you were interested in some of my research projects
because they are in the 70cm band. If it does interest you, let me know
and I'll describe my project.

Cheers,
John N1JLS

John,

There are definitely people interested in 70cm band projects. Please -
post away!


At the moment, after 5 years off air due to illness and an inability to
construct antennas to fit the tiny balconies where I am now
'incarcerated' (i.e. senior's care villas), my current goal is to get on
HF for starters -- and even that is not easy here. Once I can get back
on the air again -- any day now as I am expecting my MFJ loop antenna to
arrive (see my post "Preserving Components..., Jan 18th), then I will
consider other VHF and UHF bands. It's not that I'm not interested in
any of your research projects -- but I've got to start with my dear old
HF. I'm also located facing south, so I can't currently even hit the
local repeaters for 2M contacts with all my local ham chums -- they are
all in the wrong direction from my balcony. In March, if all goes
according to plan, I will be moving to a new east-facing suite which
might just be enough for me to hit the local repeaters. The fact that
I don't respond to all posts doesn't mean I am not interested -- I love
antennas and read every post by everyone -- even the trolls! :-)

In any event, it's nice to see a little activity on the group after
the recent drought! At least it turns out that it wasn't something I
said.
