> Spare a thought for that historic ham radio moment 80 years ago today, when
> Paul Godley, 2ZE, received the first short wave signals across the Atlantic.
> Don't forget, either, the chance meeting he had on the way over with Walt
> Beverage, 2BML, where he was told about the Beverage antenna - which Godley
> used so sucessfully. 
> 
> One of ARRL's best investments was sending Godley to Europe with his superhet
> receiver.  We should be grateful to those far seeing people who ran the League
> at the time.
