antenna on the roof of the  United Nations HQ building in New York City.  He
was able "to put 4U1UN on the air from the  41st floor  to run some tests at
the  barefoot levels.  He managed to work  about 50 stations  on  14.240 MHz
between about 1615Z and 1645Z. In the future he hopes to be able to get  the
amplifier online and remote  the station  down to the third floor.  This new
