outside his home west of Starkville
pointing up toward the sky.

Barely perceptible against the dusk-dark-

This was part of what McBroom called “the

that ended in an office in the back of his house
where considerably more than a quarter’s
worth of amateur radio equipment sat ready to
use.
From McBroom’s transceiver radio hub, he
can conceivably talk to someone at the United
