The VERY FIRST RTTY at K6NCG was done by Don Hickle - KØRUC, in 1962.  He
stuck some 88mh toroids and diodes together and received NERK NERK NERK DE
NPG NPG NPG on the old Model 15.

NERK means "Calling all WestPac ships"... of course, we didn't know that for
a while, so Don's nickname became NERK-NERK for quite some time, thereafter.

(That's his picture, in front of the TDQ transmitter and NC-100/120 receiver
in "The 60's"
