Current Goal

Update: 12/28/2012
This bug has already reached it's eastern destination (W1AW in Newington, CT).  It's time for it to head back towards Northwest Indiana.  Thank you!
=====================================================================================================
I've been a licensed Ham Radio operator for over 12 years. I have contacted places all across the country and world.

I would like this Bug to make it to the American Radio Relay League Headquaters in Newington, CT and have it's picture taken in front of it's historic station (41°42'53"N 72°43'37). Once it's reached it's destination, I would like to see it make it's journey back to Northwest Indiana.

Along the way, it would be fun to see picture of the bug with radio related items such as antennas and towers.

Recognized as a coax connector but I've never seen such a big one! Moving on...

Haven't forgotten about this bug! I'm moving to a new town and haven't had a chance to go on a CT road trip yet. But, it will happen this summer!

So glad this was still in the cache! My parents are both ham operators. I mentioned this bug's mission to my dad, and I think we will be bringing it to the Newington HQ :)
