quote W9SZ: "I never could get up the nerve to go out there at night unless there were others out there. " <cue theme tune from the X Files or a suitably creepy movie> ..... It looks like a good QTH. No neighbours! I heard fried rat was a delicacy in certain parts of the world. I'm sure I must have eaten it at dodgy curry houses in London! In fact there was a place in Leeds that got taken to court recently for serving boiled seagulls as chicken curry..... Dave G0OIL

It was a rat-infested building out in the middle of nowhere that belonged to the University of Illinois. It had power but no water or heat. We did have a tribander up over 100 feet and a couple dipoles for 40 and 80 up that high. But there were no rigs left at the station. If you wanted to operate you were free to come out with your own rig and put up with the rats. The antenna performed very well and I live about 5 minutes from the site. I used to go out in the daytime once in a while to see what I could work. I think I worked one of Baldur's operations from there. I never could get up the nerve to go out there at night unless there were others out there. :-) There are a few photos of it at http://www.qsl.net/k9cu 73, Zack W9SZ Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org Subscribe/unsubscribe, feedback, FAQ, problems http://njdxa.org/dx-chat To post a message, DX related items only, dx-chat@njdxa.org This is the DX-CHAT reflector sponsored by the NJDXA http://njdxa.org
