Summer Issue Highlights

The cover of the Summer issue of CQ VHF features the giant Arecibo Observatory dish. Several hams traveled to Arecibo this past April to put it on the air. AA6EG writes about the adventure. WA2VVA follows with an historical account of building the big dish. The kids in the corner photo are from a daycare center who received a first-hand lesson from WB4SUV in the fine art of radio direction finding.

The features include the following: WB6NOA's explanation of what triggers tropospheric propagation between the Hawaiian Islands and the North American West Coast; WB2AMU's portable antenna exploits; and part 3 of KK7B's simple construction projects for 6 meters; to name a few, along with the many regular columns.
