[Lowfer] Lowfer history

Thanks Dex for posting this!
"As interpreted by some individuals, the fifty foot antenna limit would include the overall height from top hat to the
ground connect ion, but permits insertion of a loading coil within the antenna circuit .
FCC engineers feel that the fifty foot restriction should include the actual length of
wire in the loading coil and the top hat ."


    Boy if that's true almost all Lowfer activity is not Part-15 compliant!

I've been in touch with Jim, NN4AA (ex WA4GHK) of Malabar, Florida. We 
met some time ago due to our common interest in UHF and microwave. I 
knew of his past North American 10 GHz DX record contact made with Todd, 
WD4NGG using Gunnplexers. During a recent discussion with Jim I learned 
there was a 1968 CQ article about his Lowfer station. Jim scanned and 
mailed me a copy which I have converted to .pdf format and temporarily 
placed on Dropbox:

Also Walt, W3WI, another old time Lowfer, has sent me a box of audio 
cassettes which has some of his Lowfer CW QSOs. I plan to make convert 
at least some of the recordings to .mp3 and make them available online. 
Need to find a working cassette player first :)

Maybe the start of a Lowfer history page?
