[Lowfer] Buffalo Grabbers

[James M. Walker]

AH,
Since this is the lowfer group, you may not be aware that I operate the LF
equipment at the State University of New York at Buffalo, in the Chemistry
dept. building Electronics Shop. Name is Jim, call is WB2FCN/WD2XSH-22
Since there was an administrative error, they put my co-ordinates on the 
license
wrong, so I can't transmit. and have been operating in receive only mode.

A while back I was operating the receiver on the 8th floor, with the AMRAD
probe antenna taped to the window. Then I got sick, took all the gear, a 
full
six-foot rack of equipment, back to my shop and left the antenna taped to
the window. Someone from the building, called the "In-Security" folks and
suggested that my antenna "might be a BOMB" they came took it and then
attempted to detonate it by shooting it with a slug filled shot-gun. Once 
they
decided it wasn't a bomb, they had me come and sign for it, and recover the
pieces. I repaired as much as I could of the unit, and it is once again
operational.

I don't get a warm fuzzy feeling with their response.

Anyway the LF/500KC stations are back in operation.
Jim
WB2FCN
