That's a very thoughtful act, Bill. We're all going to miss Cheryl. And I, in particular, am going to miss the Black and Bleu burger and a good on-tap IPA to wash it down with.

Slightly O.T., Main Street Bar and Grill Revisited
by svcatitc＠aol.com 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

In an effort to show our last patronage, Jeff Jonas and myself went to dinner at Main Street Bar and Grill in Ocean, NJ. Representing VCF, a letter of recommendation, pictures of our Festivus visit, and a gift card were presented to Cheryl, our loyal server, as a parting gift. She said to us that Friday, December 30th, is the last business day for the bar, so if you want to make a last visit, you have only two days to make the trip. Cheryl is moving to Virginia on Saturday and not looking back. We wish her good wishes and best of luck. Bill Inderrieden

1968 Longley-Rice model in Fortran IV
by Mike Markowski 26 Dec '22

26 Dec '22

I just subscribed to the list last week, still getting a feel for topics and hope this one is of interest. I was recently looking into the RF propagation model by Anita Longley and Phil Rice, still widely used after a half century. Going from one old report to another, I found the original 1968 CDC-3600 Fortran IV source code as an appendix in a report. After correcting the many OCR errors with O/D/0/Q, I/l/1 and similar, I posted about it to the PiDP11 mailing list. Several folks joined in and the code now runs on several old OSes in addition to F77 if you want to run it on linux. The output is, well, admittedly not as fun as a game, but if you want some contemporary code for your retro computing or happen to also be an EE working in RF, it is at https://udel.edu/~mm/itm/ Merry Christmas!
