Sounder

This powerful Newbery-winning classic tells the story of the great coon dog Sounder and his family. An African American boy and his family rarely have enough to eat. Each night, the boy's father takes their dog, Sounder, out to look for food. The man grows more desperate by the day. When food suddenly appears on the table one morning, it seems like a blessing. But the sheriff and his deputies are not far behind. The ever-loyal Sounder remains determined to help the family he loves as hard times bear down. This classic novel shows the courage, love, and faith that bind a family together despite the racism and inhumanity they face in the nineteenth-century deep South. Readers who enjoy timeless dog stories such as Old Yeller and Where the Red Fern Grows will find much to love in Sounder, even as they read through tears at times.

Investigation of ionospheric phenomena over large areas of the world has been pursued by Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories since 1953 by means of ionospheric sounders carried in large aircraft. Technical details of the first airborne ionospheric sounding system utilizing a modified C-3A Automatic Ionosphere Recorder in a JKC-97 aircraft, are described briefly. Emphasis is given to the limitations and special considerations connected with an airborne ionospheric sounder such as adequate antenna, types of interference, power, effects of temperature and vibration, and peculiarities of airborne data. Mutual operation with other projects on the aircraft conducting various photometric measurements, is discussed in regard to the severe rf interference produced by the ionospheric sounder. (Author).
