[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters Digest, Vol 69, Issue 30

[Charlie]

I'm not trying to be a name dropper, but while working for Microlog Corp in 
the late 70's, I had the honor to meet face to face with K7UGA.  All of his 
great statesman abilities completely disappeared when we started talking 
about how to set up his Microlog RTTY equipment.  He was just another Ham 
learning about his new toys; a very personable guy who never let you forget 
that YOU were important too in this world.  With all the high roller 
spending and perks we're hearing about from our prima donna types in 
Washington now, it was very curious to note that Barry did NOT come out to 
our Gaithersburg MD Office in a chauffer driven limo, but far from new AMC 
Javelin which blew a radiator hose in our parking lot.  His "driver" 
apparently just a young page, walked over to the local auto parts store, 
bought a new hose,  and fixed it on the spot.

On of the main purposes of his station in AZ was running phone patch and 
message traffic for the guys in Viet Nam.  Several volunteers kept the 
station on the air when he was in DC.
