Title: APDrone Profiled in National Magazine
Post by: SKOzone on March 06, 2020, 02:26:04 PM
Our own APDrone -- and by extension Aces High itself -- is profiled in the just-released April issue of QST magazine, a national publication for amateur (ham) radio operators.

See:  http://www.arrl.org/files/file/QST/This%20Month%20in%20QST/April2020/MEMB%20SPOT.pdf (http://www.arrl.org/files/file/QST/This%20Month%20in%20QST/April2020/MEMB%20SPOT.pdf)

My step-father was a MARS guy. KICTV. He was a radio operator on a C-47 in the Pacific in WW2.

Nice promo for the game.  :aok

My grandfather was a ham. Had a ginormous antenna in his yard. I have boxes of his old contact cards from literally around the world. Cool stuff Drone!

Nice one APDrone!  :aok

As a Radio Amateur myself (G4FHA) this is of particular interest to me, though I've not been active for a while.  Great article.   :cool:  73/88

Wow,  :eek: have not heard the words "antenna farm" in a good while. Took me back to days of building 2 element quads with my dad. Nice to see there are still radio operators around with all the new tech nowdays.  :salute APDrone.

It was great to crack open my April QST magazine and see the article and mention of Aces High.

Evidently the author of that article is ALSO a player but never gave his ID.  I'd like to know.

There are some hams in Aces High, unklkurt, and myself, ROX to name a few.
