[HBQRP] FW: Leo Meyerson, WØGFQ, on the Today Show

[Jim Larsen - AL7FS]

I hope this ends up on YouTube so I can see it.  I bought my very first 
radio at WRL in early 1965.  As we don't have TV, I have to look for it 
on YouTube or maybe on the ARRL sight if lucky.

My letter to him earlier this month.  I also included my current and my 
novice QSL cards.

To: Leo Meyerson
Greetings and Happy Birthday to you, Leo.  I am just a ham who was 
excited to be able to buy my first receiver from World Radio 
Laboratories in 1965 when I was 16 years old.  You made that possible.

I first bought the Hallicrafters SX-111 from WRL but after I tried it at 
home in Atlantic, IA, I was not happy with it.  You took it back and 
then I bought a Hammarlund HQ-140X from you.  I was very happy with that 
radio and used it until I went to college at Iowa State University.

Here was my station back then.  Transmitter was a Harvey Wells T-90 
Bandmaster.

I hope I am still hamming at age 100 and up.  Thank you for helping me 
get started 46 years ago.

Best wishes,
