About Duncan Brown:
-------------------

At a young age, Duncan was interested in radio and built various radio
kits, getting his Ham license in 1958. When he went into the Army in 1966,
he assumed he would be given a radio job, either repair or operating. But
he was assigned to Teletypewriter Repair School, something he knew nothing
about. After the Army, he worked at RF Communications (now L3-Harris),
while attending Rochester Institute of Technology during the evenings,
where he earned a BSEE degree.  After 19 years at RFC, he moved to
Microwave Data Systems for 9 years. Then 1 1/2 years at Xerox working on
an RF-powered color ink jet printer, before retiring in 2000. After
retirement, he joined the AWA to keep his hands in radio and started
volunteering at the Museum. His first project at the Museum was setting up
a Mobile Telephone Display. Then he found that hidden away in the Annex
were pieces of a military radio teletype system (AN/GRC-46B) that he had
worked on in Vietnam. That system was resurrected and became the
beginnings of the present teletypewriter display in the Museum. The AWA
Museum now has one of the largest collections of teletypewriter equipment
with over 30 different models from 10 different manufacturers.
