Miscellenous Tidbits



The Eagles outdid themselves at one of the best concerts of 2001 as they christened Invesco Field at Mile High opening night August 11.

For a 360 degree panoramic view of the concert from our seats in the 3rd level, click on the picture. Caution: it's a huge file that will take a long time to download.





Vermont. One of several attempts at a mini-DXpedition. It was 1985 and I was operating from a hotel room in Winooski, Vermont during a business trip. It met with limited success because my antenna was just a long wire to a lamp post.

I soon learned that operating on a business trip is better done with a mobile setup in a rental car. Once I tried the Hustler clamp-on trunk lip mount I never operated from a hotel room again.

In the 1990's I used a Kenwood TS-440SAT and a Hustler with a trunk mount. I logged 100,000 miles on multiple trips, from Florida during a hurricane to the shores of Maui, Hawaii. Those contacts made the time off away from home fly by.



A shot working on a TH6DXX on top of a Rohn 25 tower when my QTH was Aurora, Colorado. Before the days of having a tilt over tower I had the thrills of tower climbing. I put this tower up in March, 1985 and used the TH6 for several years before switching off to a 205BA.

I moved and sold it all off in May, 1991.
