[COURYHOUSE at aol.com]

Guy....  we have a fine Collins kws1  here at the museum that  would be fin 
to fire on 160 meters!
 
of course it has the  CB band ion it too as  that was an amateur  band when 
this baby was made!
 
I am code dyslexic  so never licensed  but  built  equipment  for all my 
friends that were
didn't bother me much,  after the things were air tested I wanted to  go 
build something else most times anyway.
 
Broadcast was always my interest when I was young   and   then cam a strong 
fascination with microwaves, both for communication   and  also radar.
 
What a fun childhood I had!
Thanks,

Hi  Ted,
I just took the exam today, and as I understand it, I don't get my  call 
for about a week or so when it shows up on the internet.
One of  the reasons I wanted to get my license is sort of a tribute to my 
dad, who  taught me so much about broadcasting over the years.
He passed away in  2004, and I'm going to try and get his old call, 
which, as of today is  still listed as available.  Apparently, I can 
apply for it as soon as  I get my first call next week.
What I really want to eventually do is find  a vintage 1kw AM broadcast 
transmitter, and put that on 160 meters.   I love those  things!
Guy
