Thanks to Cornelius DO1FER, for writing an article for the Loggers Bark! I appreciate your contribution.
Yes Cornelius - that was really cool to be able to publish your contribution!! Thanks so much @DO1FER Dave W7UUU
Its like Christmas. I am very appreciated and getting a bit ashamed at the same time, for to show my little project the public in full wide in Tacoma. But all were never happend without the help of Dave - W7UUU. Especially in language matters, for to avoid misunderstandings and give my origin text the needed sound of american-english. Further he checked the facts I gave and he put some more information in here and there for better understanding. Thank you very much.
Always impressed by how much material you can come up with each month. I downloaded it for reading later, but had to rush forward to read about that Harvey Wells transmitter as I loved the quality of his stuff back in the day.
"Lamptenna" - I like it! Down the road, that same antenna will be used for a QRP CW event and will be featured again Dave W7UUU
Great work Dave. BTW, those with Kindle readers can download the file to their computer then use this link to forward the file to their Kindle. 73, Art
I had the opportunity to visit your clubhouse in 2013 when I lived in Olympia, had I gotten used to all the rain and stayed I would have joined your club. I was impressed with the hospitality received on my Saturday visit and all the great gear available to watch or operate.
Thank you so much, Dave, for publishing the photograph with the stickers that you, very generously, sent to me. Very apreciated. And congratulations for the excellent magazine. Fernando, EA4BL.
Thank you for publishing the Loggers Bark. I miss my old friends from the W7DK club house. Jerry and the rest... Thank you Dan.
