[SFDXA] W4HHK - EME - QSL

[DON MURRAY]

Paul W4HHK and his 18 foot dish are the front page QST MAR 1965, with a shortdescription on pg. 10. Impressive bit of construction!

 His activities were always in QST in the 50's and 60's and I read every word of every issue. Still do.

 Steve,
 There is a vintage picture of Paul Wilson, W4HHK, at:
 http://www.ok2kkw.com/eme1960/eme1960eng.htm
 Search that page for "W4HHK". 
 The page list a lot of EME developments and a lot of EME "firsts".

So just down the street from  my QTH, there is a historic ham radio location; the qth of W4HHK Paul Wilson was the first one to do an EME contact, the dish still there, and I think his son keeps ups with the property - when I first moved up here, and drove by got my curiosity... from what I am told from the old hams in the area, is that Paul was a celebrity in what was a small town at that time (Collierville became bigger when FedEx moved the technology center here)... anyway you can get one of his cards on ebay:
