[IRCA] a new frontier in antenna development

[Nick Hall-Patch <nhp@xxxxxxxx>]

The last couple of days, we're getting into "wet string as an 
antenna" territory, as there has been a lot of Asian liveliness on 
the band around sunrise.

That comment made me think of a tale that David Newkirk (where is he 
now?)  passed on from his father, and it's actually online, thanks to 
Google Books.

forgive the weird link, but it gets you there.

(it's from the "Rod Newkirk collection"

)


It will resonate most if you're a ham or a techie, but a good chuckle 
nonetheless.

So, who will be the first to log HLAZ using a wet string, somewhat salted?

best wishes,

Nick
