73 = Best Regards, -Geoff/W5OMR _______________________ Attention world ! The flagship amateur radio station W1AW will officially be on the AM air waves mid day Friday , June 18 ! Through the wonderful co-operation of many enthusiastic AM operators, a Johnson Valiant and NC 303 has been successfully moved by Larry WD9HHN in his 18 wheel truck from Studio City to St. Louis (Fariview Heights), in the Heil Hummer to Dayton, on to South Bend by in Jeff's van and as we speak in a van driven by W9AMR and KA9TOC headed for Newington. An exciting trip for this vintage AM gear. Friday, June 18 is a historic day in the events of the AMI community. Thanks to so many, this is really happening so that any of the visiting operators to W1AW can once again - or for their very first time live those golden days of watching the filaments glow, hearing the transformers buzz and watching the modulation meters flicker......to say nothing of 'birdying' (is that a word Uncle Dave?)....you all know what I mean ....getting that VFO on the recieving frequency ! How much fun. Our special thanks to Joe Carcia and all of the ARRL gang for helping to make this happen. KA9TOC will be on the air around 3875 this evening on their trip to Newington. Hopefully the storms will be quiet for a bit so we can contact them . Best Regards ! BOB HEIL, K9EID
