If you all recall, a few weeks back, I mentioned Google Books. Many folks replied and set me straight on what you can and can not do with them (mainly you can only fully read the ones marked "Full View").
I was Googling +DX +Radio on Google Books the other night and saw an article on TV DX'ing from the Nov 1954 edition of Popular Mechanics. It is a good piece, to me and talks quite accurately about VHF DX'ing. I did not include a direct link since you have to have a Google account (Gmail or other) and thus the link may not work. If you search for Popular Mechanics from Nov 1954, you should get it. It is on page 158. The author and apparent DX'er is Max Tharpe. Does that name ring a bell? Off topic, I LOVE the ads in front of the magazine about learning new trades such as auto, TV and radio and appliance repair. I love the idea of raising giant frogs, for profit! 73, Dave Hascall Indy _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list IRCA@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: irca@hard-core-dx.com
