All, Brian, WA1ZMS, in Forest VA plans to re-run a replica of Reginald Fessenden’s first aural transmission on New Year’s Eve; he first ran the transmission on 486 kHz this past Christmas eve under the WD2XSH/31 experimental call sign, and I was able to hear the broadcast in Pennsylvania. Please see the forwarded email below for the details of his New Year's Eve transmission. Brian is active in 600 meter experimental work and collects early wireless gear. You can see the transmitter that Brian uses at this URL: http://w4dex.com/500khz/wd2xsh31.htm
If you do log his station, I am sure he would appreciate a report. 73, Brett Saylor ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Brian, WA1ZMS <[email protected]> Date: Sun, Dec 30, 2012 at 11:14 PM Subject: RE: WG2XFQ on 486Khz....
