[50mhz] WA2XMN on air, again

[mweisbergs at juno.com]

This doesn't exactly involve 6m... it's about 8 MHz off, but here 'tis.

Commemorating the 75th anniversary of the start of FM broadcasting, there
will be a transmission from the original tower at Alpine, NJ on the
original frequency of 42.8 mc, using the call WA2XMN. This is the ham
version of one of the two original calls, W2XMN & W2XEA, assigned to
Edwin Armstrong's group (these were NOT ham calls) and used during the 16
years of operation. The time is Saturday, 16 July @ 12 noon EDT.

If there's any Es present (& your rx can tune the frequency), it might be
heard outside of the NYC metro area. I don't know the power or bandwidth
but the tower is 460'+ high (shaped like the Cross of Lorraine) and can
make a contender out of any signal.

Give it a try; I'm curious as to whether anyone hears it.
