[Boatanchors] HISTORY MYSTERY

[W4AWM@aol.com]

A rainy afternoon's greetings to one and all.

I am requesting asome information on a bit of nostalgia.  I just came upon wa 
beautiful framed version of the 1952 Schlitz Beer ad featuring amateur radio 
prominently.  It depicts an XYL delivering a cold "807" of her OM who is 
tuning what appears to be an SX-88, while an NC-173 or 183 await's its turn 
in the background. 

Hopefully, you OTs remember what an 807 is. (hint: It isn't a 6 volt 1625!)

Question: Does anyone know who the featured chief op is? The cushion in his 
chair shows the call W3HT???? The artist was John Falter.

Any info would be apprecieted.

Thanks and 73,

John,  W4AWM
