[NJARC] Where's Dilks?

[John Dilks, K2TQN]

Hi Gang,

Sherry and I just returned yesterday from a two-week trip, first to 
the Antique Wireless Association convention in Rochester, NY, then to 
Boston to visit our daughter and grandchildren.  By Saturday we had 
outstayed our welcome there and it was time to return.  :-)

While there I visited radio historian and author Alan Douglas on Cape 
Cod and Bob Merriam, founder of the Museum of Wireless and Steam in 
Rhode Island.  I also attended the Boxboro hamfest on Saturday, which 
was well attended.

Bought while there: MacElroy key, a new antenna (Cobra Ultra Lite 
Senior 160-10m x 140' long) which they claim works well going through 
the trees.  We'll see.

And I bought a cute, small, Raytheon radio that turned out to be a 
low power marine transmitter-receiver + broadcast band radio.  I 
looks like it will be converted into a 160 meter low-power rig 
someday.  4-xtal positions.

Now to unload the car....

73, John
