W3PYF de WA5MUF.....great film from 1950 ARRL field day (and the upside-down at the end). Also, a great photo from page 20 of the June 2010 issue of QST!
On May 6, I will be giving a presentation of photographs and memories of the Delaware Lehigh Amateur Radio Club at the Nancy Run Fire house. Please contact the club website for more information. I will attempt to put a narrated PowerPoint of my presentation up on YouTube
Ah! Back when men smoked and wore fedoras, when you had to know radio theory to get a license, when antennas were home made and the voltages in the equipment could kill you. SSB was not widely used, and all radios used tubes.
There were no computers in ham shacks, and you could get an ARC 5 for 3 or 4 bucks.
Does anyone know W3NNT (call on helmet of truck driver)? QRZ says its Douglas A Morick in Richardson, TX - no indication of whether he might be the original call holder. I'd welcome any IDs the club can offer on who's in the film
There was an Arc-5 there on the table as well. Great clip. 73deKF6AAR, Denver.
