90 Grids on 2M
42 States on 2M
Best WSJT 2M DX: KD4ESV / EL87 / 1351 Miles"
Impressive John! We need all give WSJT a try and benefit from the fun and achievement it will bring.
++ KB9UMT, Don, in Central Illinois is doing testing of PSK31 on 2m. He's looking for people within 500 miles that want to experiment over time to watch variations on paths and what lower power levels will still support PSK31 QSO's over your path to Central Illinois. Contact Don at kb9umt@arrl.net . Already there are 10 to 15 guys working with him finding that they can reduce power to 25 watts and still complete PSK31 QSO's even at the 350 mile range.

Seti League, Inc Wins Grant
The ARRL Foundation, charitable arm of American Radio Relay League, the US national association for amateur radio, has issued a $3,000 grant to The SETI League, Inc. The funds are being used in the design and construction of a next-generation radio telescope prototype. The Very Small Array (VSA) now under construction combines eight standard satellite TV dishes to form a radio telescope of unique flexibility. There is a good chance that Dr. Shuch will be speaking about this project at the Central States VHF Society Conference in Milwaukee.

W3SO FN00
By Roy Goshorn
The VHF Contest Station W3SO is located on a three acre mountain top property in Western Pennsylvania, five miles northwest of Altoona in grid square FN00sn. Its' elevation is 2500 feet above sea level in the Allegheny Mountain chain. The installation is the result of the efforts by Marty Johnson, W3YOZ and others, all members of the Potomac Valley Radio Club (PVRC). The shack consists of a permanent, two room wooden building with full bath, kitchen, and operating room for six positions. Accessibility is year-round via paved roads. On the business end of the station, W3SO uses three 1.5 KW Lunar Link amplifiers on 50, 144, and 432 MHz to feed newly installed hardline. The beams are at 70, 75, and 80 feet respectively. 222MHz uses a brick type amp to an antenna at 85 feet. A 146 MHz FM rig feeds a vertical atop a 35 foot telephone pole. Computer logging is with CT. The current operators consist of K4VV, WR3Z, AI3M, K3RUQ, K3IXD, W3PAW, W9NET, W3YOZ and W3TEF. Improvements to the station are always ongoing, a year-round effort with current work-in-progress to improve the tower heights and antenna gain. W3SO participates in the January, June and September ARRL VHF contests in the LM (limited multi-operator) category. In the July CQ VHF contest, W3SO participates in the single operator category. QSL to W3TEF. E-mails can be addressed to <K3IXD@arrl.net>.
