Hello All!
First of all I'd like to wish everyone in the James Millen Society a
very happy holiday season and a very Happy New Year! This year has seen
quite a bit of JMS activity, from the reflector starting to get a bit
more use, to the first "Millen to Millen" transmitter QSO in the JMS
between my station (WA4IAM) and Don Buska, N9OO, to more members
starting to pickup Millen transmitters of their own and working towards
getting them on the air. We should also recognize the many restorations
of Millen era National receivers going on amongst our members too!
I'm curious if any of the JMS membership are planning to put their
Millen stations on the air for the upcoming ARRL Straight Key Night? I
probably won't have my transmitter on the air that night since I don't
have a receiver to use at present (my R390A isn't acting quite right,
and I'm patiently waiting to get my 75A-4 back from Howard Mills). If I
do get on the air that night it will probably be with my Yaesu FT-920.
If there are going to be some Millen stations on that night perhaps we
can specify some frequency segments to operate in so we can find each
other a bit more easily? Any suggestions? Somewhere in the old Novice
bands perhaps?
73 and Happy Holidays!
