From Jim W1QUO
Hello Bill,
I must tell you that Alan Rogers was listening to us on Sunday, 1/29/12, on 14.293. He is the recipient of the Grote Reber Award (2010) and is well known for his research in radio astronomy. He was formally ZE6JG. He has helped to keep my transmitter running. I am indebted to Alan as well as my son, Jim Jr. (K1AKE), Chairman of Astronomy Harvard University, for keeping a blind man on the air.
