Anthony Lagattuta - &TNSbT - .Operations Radio Lab - N.A.S. - n'orfolk, Virginia Greetings again t o all. I surely trust tlht a l l had a vary if~erry Cnristraas ard a Happy New Year. Havizg taken a weskle leave t o N.Y.C. ~ ~ c c o u n t s f o r no report of t l s last issue of DX hWtT-3. On 12/30 it r ea l l y gave me a l o t of pleasure to meet b;iro of our new members 111 Hampton, C . Brayne Alcott , 14, and Bruce Lyeth !vho i s probably the youngest member. Bruse i s 11 years old. So I rea l ly consider myself qui te lucky t o have met two such Wonderful people . DX-wise', not much to report as haw not DXed much. Of bn- t e r e s t i s tt.mysterious one which was heard here a few weeks ago. C a l l letters seemed to be TICDD on about 2005 kc/s. i n V e r g i ~ i ~ Beac5, Va. The s ignal was good, a b u t one microvolt bv-t modulation w a s vary poor, especial ly on voice. The announcer sesnled to be a teewager and the strange thing was that t h i s s t a t i o n actual ly carr ied comrler- c ia ls! Haventt l i s tened sinoe t'mn. Today 12/31 was sure I heard ~ ~ J ~ - 1 1 1 0 i n Norr is- town, Pa. I n the daytime but then it souded l i k e l%ldUR.tl Aqyone know? Daytime DX is s t i l l great, -but with noise on- occassion. I somethee t ry grounding. the 3rd of some of pq antenna wi th various impedances to ge t be t te r DX, and sonstirnee i t vtorks. How- ; ever, i t takes so long to.wa1.k a l l the way out to the a r d of the antenna, that I lose

~ ( a l e b l e l i s ten ing time. But I ' n v e r get l o t s 8s I follow the antenna baci.; t o the building. PIayne stnd Brum i n Eiampton get a l o t more s ta t ions from North ~arolinajd i n

. the day, t'nan here, so may mom t o a place around here where rigging 8 w i r e to,:ards t h South w i l l be easier. I surely wiluld l i k e to cor respod n f i t h 8 l o t of the NRCera, but am so lazy at times and jus t hate t o si t down and write a l e t t e r . liy ver ies show it. Someone would r ea l l y do me a favor by t e l l i n g me this . Is the Weyrich Log s t P l L pr in t - ed and i f so, hacv could one be obtained? Mell, that i s a l l f o r t h i s week.
