Here is my very special collection of oldtimers with 60+ years as radio amateurs! Yes, they each qualify as an additional 100 DXCC countries. Do adopt a oldtimer today! :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is Prose W4BW (SK) I worked in 2001, licensed back in 1924! Having seen even Buffalo Bill real life, I think he must have been one of the longest licensed hams active in US. He had defently the most patriotic Butternut antenna around, very American! :) Got the sad news that he faded away August 8 2002. Thanks for all Prose and the nice letter you wrote me... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
My good friend Harry W1HVC (SK), was licensed back in 1934! We have regular skeds at 14055 Kc/S on Fridays 21:00Z. Has a beatiful CW fist... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is another good friend of mine, Vance K5CF (SK). He got licensed back in 1937! Look behind him, its a Thordarson transmitter from 1940. Lots of nice pics at his homepage... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is my good friend Stan G3MEA (SK), more pictures here. He had regular skeds with Mr. Harvey for many years and found my site and we got great pals! :) We work every Friday at 0830Z on 14055 KHz. He uses QRP and a indoor loop from his apartment. A most kind gentleman... |
