I picked up a print version of the paper today.  I had expected the article to 
be in the local section but couldn't find it. I then look at the bottom of the 
front page and there it is. It continues on page 3 with a picture of K4BAI 
operating at his home station.  Nice job John !!!

> in Brazil.  A reported visited with me in my office and a photographer 
> came to the house.  I was disappointed that they didn't publish

> people could follow the progress of our team during the contest.  After 
> I returned from Brazil, the reporter came back for a second visit. 
> Today, the newspaper published an article, now more human interest than 
> news, as such.  There is a photograph and I will send a copy of the 
> whole article, including the photograph, to Ward and Dan.  However, the 
> article is available on the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer website in case 
> anyone wants to read it.
