JD, Laurence, Mark,

Thanks for the reports!

Looking back through my notes, it appears that Hifer TAG first went on 
the air on July 4, 2001 from here at home in MA. I don't think that much 
of anyone copied it, and I moved it up to the camp in Maine later that 
month, changing the call to RY. That generated some reports, and RY and 
MP had a hand-sent slow CW QSO on July 18.

No claim to any "firsts" -- LEK, MP and NC had beat me on the air, as my 
rig took quite a while to put together. But I suspect that we're at the 
10th anniversary of this activity.

John, W1TAG
