HF Propagation
The 103-Degree Telegraph Office
It was hot on Sunday, August 25th, at the Hollenberg Pony Express Festival near Hanover, KS--103°F hot to be precise. However, festival visitors still got to witness a working “Telegraph Office” in the form of a ham radio HF station operating the under a shade tree and using the callsign of KØASA. This Telegraph-Office display was just one of many displays at the festival depicting life in early America.
The Hollenberg Pony Express Station is the only Pony Express station in the nation that has been preserved and left on its original foundation. KFØIKQ photo.
Jim uses a bow and arrow to launch a thin rope over the tree for the far-end support for the EFHW antenna. KFØIKQ photo.
