I was sent 3 boxes of back issue VUD's Publicity in the VtJD The balance as of 8/12/95 is $2,968 .

Only very rare This month another voice from seat®:year reinforaea the hoax theory in regard to KLEE reception in Europe, conditions in the ionosphere would support such multiple hops, and with today's Alao, aome very clever art work from the early days of high noise levels and cluttered spectrum, it is no wonder it is not accidentally ~iDAY-tv in Fargo.

(Editor's comment : Most early small market tv artwork was less than creative ; and A N STATION IN SPACE ... . sometimes downright ugly. An exception was WDAY-tv in Forgo, ND. The Station latched onto a young artist by the name of Norm Selberg who created the character featured in the 7be October 1971 issue of ELECTRONICS WO]PLD contained the article 'Interstellar IDS below. The figure, similar to AI CapfS "SChmooS" in the "fil Abner" comic Strip, got the Communications-What Are the Prospects?" It reported on Ure r~eption in London of ao 'bottle man' nickname from WDAY-tv Staff members . The collection featured here came from American TVstation (KNEE-TV, channel2, Houston, TX) after a 3 year delay, possibly as the an historic article Sent by former WDAY-tv news intern Donn McLellan of Apple Valley, MN. In a result ofwhatsome postulated ss a 'plasma cloud"orperhaps due to an interstellar transponder. later ID series (not currently available) the bottle-man painted the channel 6 logo on darned print of technical details) The foDowing letter (although we don't have the space to aU the near everything in the Red River Valley...panel trucks, silos, water tanks, grain elevators, and sbou]d be ofinterest to readers . even cows! Considering the mediocrity of most early tv ID Slides, these are trulyjewelS!) I never expected to see any further reference to the reception of KLEE in England after a supposed 3-year delay. It was a good prank while it lasted. In 1958, I was the International DX Editor of the American Ionospheric Propagation Association, which was the only American club devoted solely to the observation and reporting of TV-DX. The group is still active today as the Worldwide TV-FM DX Association. As International Editor, I corresponded with many TV-DXers all over the world. The strange reception of KLEE was frequently mentioned. Therefore, I did a detailed study of the characteristics required by the "plasma cloud". TONITE oN If this cloud is merely a distant reflector, it must have a perfect parabolic shape ~11~~'i~~ h~ with an error no more than 300 meters. It must also be astronomically large in order to collect enough energy to return a signal at 1 .5 light-years distance. '), ' The picture claimed to have been received in England was transmitted by KLEE at 55.25 MHz AM with negative modulation; audio at 59.75 MHz FM ; picture at 525 lines by 30 frames. This video (and, by some reports, sound) was received on England's channel 2 with video at 51 .75 MHz AM with positive modulation; audio AM at 48.25 MHz; picture 405 lines by 25 frames. Note that U. S. negative modulation means increased transmitter power which causes the picture to get blacker, while British positive modulation will get whiter with increased power. After I published such an impossible set of conditions even to the fiction writer, a Swedish friend stated that he was in receipt of a letter from a British experimenter who admitted transmitting the KLEE test pattern, but was afraid of legal action if he was ever known by name, and hence was not able to tell the truth about the hoax!

Jaffarson Plaos Cirol~ Baton Aougs, L7~ 70809 zo-NEws Now for some photos from Jeff Kadet, Macomb, II, from that great tropo opening : pH~ October 1995 Equipment: R-7100 w/video adapter, mist. Zenith TV sets c.1979-82 . Screened CM T dish @85' w/UA-900 preamp. CM1110 @80' w/PA-1975 preamp. Vertically polarized 5 el lowband @10' w/CP-3800 preamp. Well, hopefully this batch of photos turns out better than the first two . I'm not sure why they came out so dark - I assure you they didn't appear that way when I submitted them! One problem was that I submitted two columns before I even saw the first one in print. After going to at least half a dozen printers and prepresses in town, I think I finally found one who can do halftones for a reasonable price.

Our first contributor is Robert Delaney (KA9UVY) from Mt. Vernon, IL:
