[CW] Walter Candler

 After reading the MM article I searched for more info.  Here's one source:

Interesting stuff.  

My early experience learning Morse in the 1970s involved listening to code practice records borrowed from the library, and sending using an jury-rigged "oscillator" that I made.  The oscillator was created by finding that a toy walkie-talkie would squeal when I put my fingers across certain spots on the PC board, to which I then tack-soldered wires onto to reach the key.  Press the key to trigger the squeal.  The next level breakthrough for me was getting a receiver and listening to Novices and those talking to them at slow speed.

    Walter Candler advertised his school for decades in ham 
magazines and probably elsewhere. He claimed to have trained Ted 
McElroy, long time code speed champ. I wonder if anyone knows 
anything about Candler. A web search does not turn anything up. I 
know he moved his school from Chicago to Denver but nothing else. 
Perhaps someone here has some biographical data or knows 
something about what he taught. I just ran across one of his ads 
just now and my curiosity got bumped.
