Six-meter oddity: W8WVP finished his rig and installedhis antenna system on July 9th. His first CQ on 6 raisedW5ZVF, who had also just finished erecting a beam andputting liis station in order in a new location, makinghis first transmission in calling W8WVP. It was the firstMichigan contact for W5ZVF, and the first Arkansas con-tact for W8WVP. W0ZJB, Wichita, Kan., suggests the possibility of anout-of-tliis-world 2-meter net that could be put into service September 1955. by using high TV towers during the stations off-the-airhours. TV transmitting arrays are broadband are several hundred feet higher than any ham islikely to get his antenna, and theyre fed with low-losslines. They may not have the best match in the world for144 Mc, but even with a high (whos worrying, atamateur power levels?) they still do quite a job on and W5VKH have used a 600-foot tower for Chan-nel 8 at Muskogee, Okla., on several occasions. W5I0W hasworked Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas with finesigs on the Channel 10 array at Ada, Okla. Vince now plansto use the Channel 10 array of KAKE, Wichita, the night ofSept. 10th, and the following morning. He will be on ,and would like to have as many fellows as possible keepa sharp lookout for W0ZJB/0 at that time.
