As best as I can recall I was impressed by a screwdriver antenna made
by a retired Boeing engineer. I think I saw it at the Ft. Wayne
hamfest and I want to get more info. Does this limited info ring a
bell with anyone?
tnx

Hi Hank, well I am sure you don't miss the winter weather!
I am certain that W6AAQ is a retired engineer. I will check
with some of my SoCal ham friends to see if he was at Boeing.
Possibly he has changed the design since you saw it.

Yes my bro in Calgary has told me about the cold but we've had some in
Oklahoma. It's not the temp here that gets you here but the wind and
humidity make it bad. I'd rather have the dry, windless cold. I think the
retired Boeing engr was at the Ft. Wayne Indiana hamfest and I think he
lives in Illinois?

Hi Hank,

Boeing engineers are more likely to be found in Wichita and Seattle.
The retired ones would probably be snow-birding in Arizona.
