THE ABOVE SCAN IS THE COVER AND FIRST PAGE OF A COMPLETE DVRA NEWSLETTER FROM AUGUST, 1943. PAGES 2 AND 3 ARE IN THE NEXT POST, AND 4 AND 5 IN THE NEXT PAGE. I ORIGINALLY POSTED THIS NEWSLETTER AS ONE LARGE GRAPHIC, BUT THE SIZE OF THE GRAPHIC MADE THE TEXT TOO SMALL TO READ.OVER THE YEARS, I HAVE MANAGED TO ACQUIRE A NUMBER OF THESE DELAWARE VALLEY RADIO ASSOCIATION NEWSLETTERS. THE DVRA HAS A MAGNIFICENT HISTORICAL HERITAGE DATING BACK TO ITS FOUNDING IN 1931. DURING THE YEARS WHEN I WAS A MEMBER, IT WAS MY PRIVILEGE TO MEET MANY OF THE WONDERFUL MEN AND WOMEN WHO WERE MEMBERS OF THAT AUGUST BODY. I HOLD SPECIAL FOND MEMORIES OF THE "COMMUTER NET" THAT WAS A DAILY MORNING AND EVENING HAPPENING BACK THERE IN THE 1970'S AND EARLY 80'S. ROBBY, K3MNX, CHUCK WB2EIZ, MY SPECIAL "HEAT MERCHANT," PAUL W2AEI, SANDY W3GWZ, DICK "TIMEOUT" AMRICH, K2AAR, JACK BROWN, W3SHY, BOB SCHROEDER, WA2JZF NOW N2HX, JOE SUNDRA, W3ZLP, BOB CHERRY, WB2F, FAST EDDIE VICKNER, K2SNK, AND OTHERS WHOSE CALL SIGNS HAVE DIMMED IN MY RAPIDLY AGING MEMORY BANK. THANKS, GUYS, I MISS YOU ALL AND THINK OF YOU QUITE OFTEN. I'M SURE YOU WILL AGREE THAT WE DID HAVE VERY VIABLE AND FASCINATING QSO'S. MANY OF THEM WERE QUITE THOUGHT PROVOKING.
