[IRCA] Off Topic

[gsantull@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi guys,

I have a general question about Beverage antennas. Normally I string out 350' in fall and reel it in before lightning season in Nor VA that starts soon. Does anyone leave it up all year? If so what extra lightning protection does one employ? Thanks. George Santulli Northern VA

Subject: [IRCA] DXers under the age of 30

About 1999 or so, the NRC had a member named Luke Steele from Vinita, Oklahoma 
who ran their contests section, and he was about 17 at the time.  Not sure if 
he's still active or not.    

 
50 years from now, I wonder if radio stations will even be around.  Today's 
youth, as has already been mentioned on this list, are getting their music from 
iPods, and if none of them even know about AM radio these days, I can imagine 
there'll come a point in time where FM will become passe in their minds, too.  
And a generation that grew up on radio will be long gone.
