[QuadList] OT-CQ from Peru and Fwd: Radio Club Peruano, OA4O--

[Ted Langdell]

This is definitely not On Topic for Quad videotape, but since I know  
there are a number of Hams on the list, I thought this would be of  
interest to them and of perhaps passing interest to others.

The original sender—Henry Hill—worked on the Ampex VPR Quality Control  
line in Colorado Springs back in the days of the VPR-2, later was a  
cop and is now a photographer in the Pittsburgh, PA area.

He sent the message below with picture, and then advised:
"Tuesday, 40 meters, 7.250 mhz. plus or minus 5 kc, 1800 hours on...   
I will be evaluating my new ICOM 7200!

73's,
OA4 / WA3CVC"

If you happen to decide to give him a CQ and make contact... let him  
know that you heard about him here.  Especially if you try to work him  
from unexpected places, like Australia or Europe.

> Peru is humid and hot for a boy who just arrived from winter zone  
> Pennsylvania. The first order of business was putting up my double  
> bazooka antenna, which had problems due to the location. It works  
> when out in the open, but daughter Stephanie has moved into a new  
> place without the outside space I had grown accustomed to. Solution:  
> find a working antenna system and go there!
>
> I found a local Ham Radio Club that is absolutely fantastic! It is  
> totally loaded with super antenna systems, gear, and a clubhouse  
> that is second to none in the world! This I promise you! This club  
> makes enough income to support side businesses that are first  
> class ... they have an administration office staffed by full time  
> employees! They are a friendly bunch of guys, and after a little  
> talk ... they are fans of my last CQ article, and have it in their  
> front office by the way ... they were kind enough to let me set up  
> my 7200 today for a test run, and antenna check.
>
> Tomorrow, or Tuesday I will be on for a few more hours starting at  
> 6PM east coast time! If you can, look for me around 7.250 up or down  
> the band a little....
>
> OA4/WA3CVC will be my call... Just like you see in the attached  
> photo, my new trusty ICOM 7200 will replace their ICOM 746 Pro on  
> the desk for my special event... They will get to see for the first  
> time, a 7200 in operation. The bands are not good now, but you may  
> hear me with their antenna system. They have an amp as well if  
> needed. I always use only 100 watts or less though. I will be using  
> a 40 meter beam antenna up 100 feet, so that may help!
>
> This image was shot by my taxi driver, so you can see his finger at  
> the top of the lens... I am saving the good images for publication  
> of course.
