Yeah, they're not the greatest about updating their web page.

 From a posting on the VHFContesting Reflector on the 25th from Gerry, 
W1VE / VE1RM / 6Y6C...

"WA1ZMS had exactly ONE QSO in the January contest.   He probably will 
not win.  Yet, he made a 114km QSO on 241GHz, a new world record.   Now 
-- the gear for the band is incredibly rare, expensive and bleeding 
edge... Should we complain about  his pushing the envelope?"

So that's the latest record from "Dr. Millimeter-Wave"... 114Km on 241 GHz.

(The comment was related to the ongoing/never-ending rules debate over 
there about VHF rules and now the recent changes.  People just need to 
learn to go out and have fun... like you do, Jonsey!)

I keep meaning to ask Brian if he'd ever consider coming out here with 
his 200+ GHz gear and we'll take him up Pikes Peak, and aim him at 
someone in Kansas... How many Km is Pikes to Sunflower?  I've never 
looked that one up on a map.

(GRIN)  :-)

He'd set some records no one would ever beat if we could get him out here.

Getting his microwave gear through airport security would certainly be 
interesting, both from a "What the HELL is THAT stuff?" standpoint and 
also from a "Oh crap, they broke it" one, too... probably.

Sure would be fun to plunk Dr. Millimeter-wave down on a 14'er and let 
him play, though -- wouldn't it?  (BIG HUGE GRIN)
