To All
Harry, PA0LQ, has asked me to put the following
message on the reflector on behalf of him:
The manager of the apartment building I
live in has just ordered me to stop my antenna experiments. Some of the
inhabitants, apparently suffering from the radiation hazard syndrome, had
complained. They have seen my activities and despite my assurance that the
antenna is removed after every weekend, I have to stop.
This means for me the end of my activity
on LF. I regret it very much as it became more and more enjoyable with the
improvements of the antenna.
It is a great pity that the most active station
on LF in The Netherlands should be forced off the air in this way.
Personally I will miss Harry on the band very
much as we had a very good co-operation, also in a technical sense; measuring
each others signal after a modification etc.
Ironic is that on the roof of that very same
building one finds base stations of two different mobile telephone systems (KPN
and Libertel). The antennas of these stations have been radiating 24 hours per
day for years already whilst Harry's actual transmitting time amounts to perhaps
one hour or less per weekend!
