[Lowfer] Hot HiFER News!

[John Andrews]

JD,

A few qualifiers! Then under the call sign of VK2ZTO, Steve was active 
with Hifer stuff in 2001. He had a beacon, "RIC" on 13555.45 kHz that 
was received by Lyle Kohler in MN on May 28, 2001. Steve reported 
reception of RY (from Raymond, ME) on 13555.36 kHz on August 14, 2001, 
though I recall the copy as being a bit sketchy. Things were a bit messy 
at that point, because the unattended RY beacon was not in its normal 
DFCW mode, and had spent some time spontaneously sending the TAG 
callsign. Unfortunately, I never saved Steve's capture locally, and his 
old VK2ZTO site is long gone.

All of this history is nicely preserved in the LWCA Message Board 
Archives, a useful tool, for which you are to be thanked!

JA
