Heard on the Old Military Radio Net: W4SVA

So there I was, early Saturday morning (earlier here — we are one hour ahead of the East Coast) listening — as I do — to the Old Military Radio net. 3385 kHz AM. I use the K3FEF Web SDR in Pennsylvania. I heard a station that sounded familiar: Chris W4SVA. He said he was in the Shenandoah valley and was receiving on an R-390A and transmitting with a homebrew rig. I kind of remembered talking to a guy with a station like that. I searched through the SolderSmoke blog. No joy. Then I remembered it was probably a log entry. There he is, W4SVA. Here is his QRZ page: https://www.qrz.com/db/W4SVA I was almost certainly on the K2ZA DX-100.

Here’s my log entry:

75AM W4SVA Chris in the Shenandoah, 15 miles south of Harrisonburg. Very FB. AM guy. Building rack-mount rig. Lots of HB stuff. Sent him the Shenandoah rocket pictures.

I also heard Buzz W3EMD from the Hudson Valley — the dynamotor was clearly audible. FB Buzz.

Thanks Chris. And thanks again to John Zaruba for the DX-100.
