This article was written by a ham and is about hams contribution to radio astronomy.

https://www.nrao.edu/whatisra/hist_ham.shtmlI think if he was a ham operator, it would have definitely been mentioned in the article.

Side note... daughter and I got to visit the VLA in New Mexico back in 2016. (The Karl G Jansky Very Large Array - named for him) The size and scale of the place is just amazing, pictures don't do it justice. But I do have a couple pictures posted on my rover profile page that were taken while there. One of me 'wishing' I could hook up an HT to a dish and one standing at the foot of a dish. It dwarfs me completely... those dishes are two school bus lengths across! https://www.qrz.com/db/N4UFO/P ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello AllKarl Jaskey is the father of radio astronomy . Was Karl Janskey a licenseamateur if so what was his call sign?Tnx nick de k5qxj
