A great story, thanks, Tim>


Ted Hunter lived in the Iowa City area, and was very active, well known,
> and
> well liked among the local ham community. Back in 1962, I had just passed
> my
> Novice license, and at a local Field Day event, Ted drove up in  his
> station
> wagon, which featured a 1KW  HF amp, and I believe he had a generator in
> the car
> to provide enough power to run it.  I always remember, at that FD, how
> nice
> he was to a fledgling novice, he let me talk on his  radio, and let me
> get a
> few 5 wpm contacts on CW. I was thrilled. Later, when I was about 16,
> when he
> learned how much I liked CW,  he gave me one of his personal telegraph
> keys, a
> bug, which I still have.
> A great individual,  a great ham. I'll always remember Ted Hunter.
