Didn't know about J. Jones and the ham radio aspect. I'll
google/wikipedia or whatever that. Thanks Frank.

There is also an extensive article in CQ, Aug '79. If you're
interested and can't find a copy, email me and I'll scan the one I
have.




Thanx for the link Frank. I looked on the net for the article with nil
results.
If you could please pass it along it would be appreciated.
Regards, Jim.



These are kinda big, just under a meg each. I won't keep them on the
server very long so save them for posterity.

Fascinating reading, especially the Epilogue. BTW, pages 26 & 27 are
an information card insert.




Frank, you are right as it is indeed fascinating reading.I wonder if
there has been any follow up to this 27 year old article.
Regards, Jim.


The last issue I have is from Nov '79, and just has a letter from a
reader who got a QSL from "Margaret". But it does have an interesting
article on a 160m loaded vertical (top is 56' above the roof, in case
you're curious).
