Editor' note: Stan
Horzepa, WA1LOU, was a member of the University of Connecticut Amateur Radio
Club, which does not have a Web site, but UCONN does have a story about how
Amateur Radio helped the university cope with the Hurricane of 1938.
To discuss UCONN, radio clubs and other neat stuff, e-mail Stan.
