John Dilks K2TQN was a former member of OBARC and an honorary member of SJDXA. John, John’s son and I worked together on the movie set for “Paranoia” where we met and talked with Harrison Ford. We provided old (and new) radios for a scene in the movie that was set in a mansion outside of Philadelphia. 

He was also the curator of the John Dilks Radio Museum https://www.radiomuseum.org/museum/usa/john-dilks-oldradio-museum-ham-radio-before-1950-egg-harbor-township-nj/
