[WVDXA] W8AH Tribute onliine

[Hal Turley]

Thanks Alan,
Actually, I have an ARRL carbon copy manuscript of the article that belonged to Al, W8PQQ at that time. That was how they had to prepare an article for publication back then using this carbon template provided by the League.  I was just wanting to verify that it actually was published in QST.  

Of course, Bill Orr became quit famous in his own right as an author of many technical books and articles.  I think Al served with him in Europe after the war. Their DX-pedition to Andorra was actually a bootleg operation and they created their own callsign including their own special prefix. Sure was different in those days.   

Thanks again for checking and verifying that for me Alan.  Having W8JM's QST collection is pretty good too!

73,
Hal W8HC

Hal,
    I've got the October, 1951 QST article right  here.  Al's call must have 
been W8PQQ at that time.  I've not read the  complete article yet, but if you 
would want a copy, I can try to make one at  work next week.  My copy is of 
that issue is in great shape but as you can  imagine, it is a little fragile.
 
    Just a point of interest, I have W8JM, Don Morris'  QST collection.  I 
believe I only miss 4 or 5 months of QST back to  1922.  1921 is fairly sparse.
