Dear Chas, W1CG We most certainly had to have known one another during that period. I enjoyed operating the big CW kilowatt at W9YB with the wonderful Lazy H antenna on top of the EE building. I also enjoyed working for Ralph Townsley at WBAA from 1949 through 1952. Nice hearing from you. 73, Bob Lay (W9DMK) in Dahlgren, VA http://www.qsl.net/w9dmk
