I've been in Ham Radio since the 1960s.
I was active on RTTY in the 1970s with a
microprocessor based bit banging terminal
using modified Sidereal Muicronet II hardware.

The unique tools provided by the WSPR system
have awakened my interest in HF propagation
and antenna issues. I finally put up a 130
foot Van Gordon dipole I bought some ten years ago,
and put my Dentron SuperTuner back together.

Now I understand why hitting Europe from the
Oregon Rainforest is so tricky - it's the
auroral oval that is in the way.
