A high performance setup!, for portable 56-mc work.
On August 10th, 1935, W2MO of New Jersey, operating portable
with 56-mc equipment, in his automobile on Garret Mountain, 550
feet above sea level, 'worked' many districts. The report says...."His
vehicle fitted out with an 8-element directive array, being 4 half-wave
antennas and 4 reflectors, supported on 4 x 20-foot bamboo poles, really does things!" (G.R.S. Suffered some 'feedback' problems when striking powerlines though!)
Also, on this page, under 'Strays'. (Odd short comments)....
Death Rays. "Speculation is rife, concerning Marconi's rumored
method of disabling airplane motors by a mysterious ray! According
to Prof. Dr. Turnonoff, well-known QST contributor of articles on
stuff, the secret lies in use of his exclusive discovery, negative wavelengths!"
(G.R.S. Dr. Turn-on-off ? Me thinks they are pulling my leg!) |
