Another MTN member from 1950
Ken Peck-W8DPU of Port Huron, Michigan
Ken purchased my father's 1946 Hallicrafter "HT-9" transmitter after
my father acquired
a Hallicrafter "BC-610-E" like the one Dick Decker-W8YFI of
Deckerville had.
This is a recent (2006) photo of me
next to a restored Hallicrafter "BC-610-E" that
originally was owned by Dick Decker-W8YFI in the 1950's.... (of Deckerville,
Mich)
Just a little 1947 story that was
written about my father, his family, work and radio hobby.
I thought that you might enjoy this little bit of history of him....
