Hi Warren if I remember rightly from the early T/A days VE1ZZ is Jack a
veteran 160m who was active with a 136 authority for about a year or so. He
was regularly seen in the UK on 3 sec dot QRSS must be about 4 years ago now
(In fact it was even suggested that he might have been audible one night).
Jack did not have internet access but did use the DX Clusters. I often
reported reception to him over the local cluster. VE1ZJ is John who was
part of many of the early experiments. He used to live in Stanley NS (may
still) and had a summer retreat at Big Pond. I believe Jack has a sea-side
location as I believe a lot of his 160m antennas are out over salt marsh or
sea water. Yes Jack has a very quiet location.....John in town is not so
lucky but did receive some good signals in town on a loop antenna. John did
get involved in local politics at one time.........though I dont think he
was elected !!.

I received a nice QSL card and audio tape of his reception of WD2XGJ
today from John VE1ZZ nr Halifax, NS.
Judging by the cassette, John has a quiet location and a nice receiving
setup.
John has received 2200 meter authorization and is looking to make QSOs on
136. I don't know if John subscribes to these reflectors or not. I don't
recall any reflector postings by John.
I had noticed prior to today that John has been posting his 137 kHz
receptions on the 160 meter dx packet cluster.
