Default Re: Pizza travels back in time
WB8RXG was the man who got me started by selling my parents the HW-16 in 1975. Louie was a WWII morse code operator, I never thought I'd be able to do what he did with the code. WD8LQU was a good local friend who died when I was 18.

Not shown is a card from Sam, WB8NDZ, another local ham who was a major influence and great friend.

All these men are gone now. "Silent Keys" as we say.

WN4ABF was my first real contact, over 350 miles away.
WN7ZVG was my first contact on 15 meters, I was using an antenna built from two pieces of electrical conduit - over 2500 miles on less than 40 watts!
Both guys were teenagers, as was I, back then.
