Kn6chr, Paul,
i went on the air in 1953.
My elmer was Frank, w6ttu.
i operated mostly on 80 meter CW in 1953 with a Philco NT-200 (6V6/6L6) and a S-40receiver. Later climbed the ladder to a 75A4 and a DX-100.
W6RHM and W6UJX were regular contacts on CW.
I have recovered a lot of lost friends from the San Fernando Valley on the
SFV Old Timers Yahoogroup.
If you are an old SFV Ham please visit to read stories and see pictures .
