In the 1960s my elmer (George McCullough, K6JI) gave me sets of 
Russ(?) Farnsworth's "Learning The Radio Code" records, taught by the 
man himself. A three LP set I believe. I also think Farnsworth 
arranged to have the records made himself and used some special gear 
to record the audio oscillator. I think the copyright was in the late 
1950s.

I discovered girls and stuff before I was able to get my Novice back 
then. Since I got my ticket in 2000 (some 35 years later) I'd sure 
like to find those albums again, but I can't find them in any of the 
boxes here.
