Bad Conditions and Weather

Only worked W1F in the Hello event; the weather didn't help as we don't operate in poor conditions for the obvious reason. It all gets shut off and unplugged !

There was a funny blog on the ARRL website http://www.arrl.org that has some YouTube videos though.

Other stations will be on and more are supposed to be added to the list at the site.

Fessenden first transmitted a broadcast on Christmas Eve, 1906, to astonished telegraph operators.
