Is there anyone out there who can help, Gordon.  I did some research and sent him some ideas but perhaps there is someone else who can do more.

 

Please share this with your clubs in hopes of success.

Hi Jim       My name is Gordon and I'm W5GFR.     I help out with our local middle school radio club K5LMS.    As you probably know School Club Roundup was last week.  We did very well in the contest and one of the stations we contacted was the school at Pilot Station over on the Yukon KL7DG.    They have a vertical that just doesn't work out very well.   If you look at the contest results you will see that for the last several contests they have a terrible time getting any results at all.   While talking to my other old geezer friends Monday I mentioned it would be great if I could find them a beam.    It took all of 5 minutes to locate an old Mosley classic 33 and I have it here at school now.   I'm going to have to modify the elements to make it short enough to ship.    

Sooo.......   all of this rambling is to ask you if you know a ham or group of hams that might be near enough to them to assist in getting this thing up and working when (if) it arrives?  I know Donn and the kids would be appreciative.
