Dear Harry,
I am very sorry to hear that you have had to close down on LF. Perhaps some day
soon you can return to the airwaves again on LF from another qth. Thank
you for giving me the opportunity of working you from Malin Head, your signal
was very good, considering what you were using, I remember the qsb on your
signal caused by the antenna moving in the wind, suspended from the top
floor of your high rise qth.
All the best and I really do hope you can somehow get back on
soon again

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!
