1925: SECRET ANTENNA
EVEN BACK IN THE EARLY YEARS OF BROADCAST RADIO, MANY RADIO LOVERS HAD NEIGHBORS WHO OBJECTED TO UNSIGHTLY WIRES POLLUTING THEIR ENVIRONMENT. TODAY APARTMENT AND GATED COMMUNITY DWELLERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME SITUATION. I KNOW A NUMBER OF AMATEURS WHO ARE IN A SITUATION WHERE THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO INSTALL AN ANTENNA.
I am the Hamilton Township Historian at the Hamilton Township Public Library Local History Collection. I served in "G-2;" the U.S. Army Security Agency(ASA) with a "Top Secret Codeword" ("Crypto")military clearance. I have been married 60 years in April of 2014 to Judy Britton, my class of 1951 Hamilton High school sweetheart. We have 3 children and 9 grandchildren, and one great granddaughter. I have been a member of the amateur radio community since 1975 with the call sign WA2RVU. If the good Lord wills it, I will be logging local history when I reach the golden age of 100!
