An Afternoon with W1FPZ - Part 1 of 3

Uploaded by W1UJR on Jul 29, 2009
An interview with John Rollins W1FPZ, a member of the Antique Wireless Association, a very well known amateur radio operator, and home builder of radio receivers and transmitters. This video, consisting of three parts, was taken shortly before John's passing. John passed away on March 18, 2008.
As a teenager John discovered radio and his brother bought him a $5.00 two tube regenerative radio kit to build. John built the kit, but it was another 6 months before he got another kit for the power supply. With the help of a ham who lived nearby, he got the radio working which opened up a whole new world for him. John was in High School when his brother went with him into NYC to test for a ham license at the FCC Field Office. For the next couple of years he was active on 40 M. CW using the regen receiver and a Hartley oscillator.
Thanks for the opportunity to fill you in on some of the less well known aspects of Johns life. It was an honor to know him and he will be missed by all.
