For those of you bemoaning the demise of your University club station -
banished to various tiny rooms with antennas in disrepair - take a look at
these beauties that just went up on the brand-spankin' new EE bldg at my
alma mater, University of Missouri at Rolla.
http://www.umr.edu/~w0eee/array.htm
Now that, my friends, is what an EE bldg should look like, don't you
think?
Yes, SIR! And a big tip o' the cap to Tom Hammond, N0SS, who braved the
elements and the vagaries of Ozark contractors to help complete the job.

If someone is setting up a 'registry', please include the
Twin City FM Club (Minneapolis/St. Paul).
At our club station, W0EF, we run a phone SS 'College of
Contesting' each year. Basically we divide the contest up
into 2-hour slots, and in each slot is an experienced contest
op teamed up with a newbie. If there were interest, it might
be expanded to the CW SS weekend also.
The station is located in the basement of a suburban police
and fire building. We have our own comfortable 'shack' (in
exchange for Skywarn and other community service) with a
KW, full logging/DXcluster computer capability, tribander,
and various wire. Not W0AIH/W3LPL level, but respectable.
First dibs naturally go to club members, but it's never been
overcrowded, so a non-member is likely to be welcome if not
too choosy about time-of-day.
Contact Al Dewey, K0AD (aldewey@aol.com) for particulars.
