Hi Steve --
Of course I'd heard about W6AM, but I didn't know any details. I thoroughly enjoyed the video. Is there a book as well?

I really enjoyed the biography, “W6AM - Amateur Radio’s Pioneer “ by Jan David Perkins. 

Copies seem to be scarce now, so I sold it on to another ham to keep it in circulation.  If you get a chance to read it, go for it.
