I know, I know, I said I wasn't going to send any more of these things
because they were always the same, station standing ready, etc. I do have
to open my big mouth!

No sooner had I said that than our landlord decided that what he really
wants to do most in this world is to sell the house, and so we have to move.
Naturally, when we move, so does the radio station, which now has to come
down. Unfortunately I don't know if I can get it up and running again,
because it would be hard to find a landlord who would be accommodating
enough to let us put a huge radio antenna up in the back yard. I think our
present one did, only because he didn't really know what was involved, and
by the time he came around the corner one day and saw this monstrosity
sticking up out of his back yard, it was kind of too late.

There are a couple of ways I am going to work on to try and get this thing
back up. One is that there are other antennas, besides verticals, and
because the back yard in the house that we have our eyes on is so much
bigger, we might be able to put a wire one around somehow. The second way I
might have around this is to try and persuade the Canadian National
Institute for the Blind, with the help of our local amateur radio club, to
put a station up in the city in which I live, for all blind people in the
area to come and operate. This wouldn't be as good as having one in one's
own back yard, but would be a heck of a lot better than not having one at
all! There won't be a report probably over the next couple of months, until
we get moved and kind of settled in; after that, I will write and give the
Inc a progress report on what is--or isn't!--going on.

Best to everyone.
Helena.
