Just a caveat Ralph. Back in 1958 I almost signed up to attend George
Westinghouse Technical High School in Brooklyn. Instead I went to Samuel
Gompers Technical & Vocational H.S. in Da Bronx! They had a Ham Radio club
[back then] with the callsign W2DOW. It was February 1959 that I got my Ham tix
through this club.
FYI I am retired now over 15 months from Sun Tran. I am sure you remember me
from designing/building that 220 repeater that was eventually installed up on
Mt Bigelow, remember? I currently have a 900 mhz repeater up, here at the house
and building a 440 UHF repeater as I type this. Hope you are enjoying your
retirement from KVOA...73 Doug W7FDF
