To pay your respects to Hiram Percy Maxim (1869 - 1936), founder of the
American Radio Relay League (Started in 1914), he is buried in
Hagerstown, Maryland.
He originally had the call signs SNY, 1WH, 1ZM, 1AW, and finally W1AW.
W1AW is now the ARRL Headquarters club station call sign.
The address is: Rose Hill Cemetery, 600 South Potomac Street,
Hagerstown, Maryland, 21740.
Call 301-739-3630 to contact the friendly & professional Rose Hill staff
for cemetery hours. The office staff can provide a map.
Enter the main entrance along 600 South Potomac Street and drive past
the office. Turn right onto the first road "Rose Hill Circle". Then
turn left at "Henry's Lane" where Hiram P. Maxim is buried. Drive half
way down "Henry's Lane" (No more than 75 meters) and on your right is
a lot named "Hamilton". If you pass "Hamilton Lane" on your left, then
you have driven to far.
The lot is next to the road. Hiram P. Maxim's marker ( Section K, Lot #
75) is about 5 meters in from the road within the Hamilton lot.
