Spotlight	N0EW -Strange Antenna Challenge!

Over the last few years strange antennas have been constructed from dog kennels, metal folding chairs, chicken wire, pickup trucks, and in this picture, a trucker's loadlock. So far we have contacted stations in 5 continents using no more than 100-watts. This exciting contest is held over the Memorial Weekend each year. Others are invited to participate as Satellite Stations, who have flown their own strange antennas including railroad tracks, semi-truck trailers, and even an entire football stadium. Why not join us next year? Go to http://www.n0ew.org/k0s/ to discover how you can join the fun!

Strays	Add a Stray!

I'm looking for any QSL cards from Cliff Nunn(sk) Calls I know he had where N5QJU and K5OVK. May have had other calls in the past. Would like to give the cards to his family so his ham radio history isn't lost. Thanks kd8eur@arrl.net

A contributor asks, “What one transceiver did you have, now no longer in production, would you purchase again if it were back on the market? It would be exactly as originally manufactured. No extra bells and whistles added though improved components would be allowed.”
