ATV (Amateur Television) RADAR - Send additions, corrections and updates to k5kj@pulse.net

Note:  The actual status of ATV in the Dallas area is currently unknown.  AB5IG lost his transmitting location atop a building in downtown Dallas and is rumored to be relocating to Cedar Hill.  KC5NQ is rumored to be off the air, perhaps permanently, due to a lightning strike that occurred in 2000.   For the latest updates, see
North Texas Ham TV.
