Doug clarified that he has tracked Ken down (in Bakersfield) but Ken's had some significant health issues and they've not actually been in direct communication. Ryan www.RyanEllett.com The Old Time Radio Researchers "Saving the Past for the Future" www.OTRR.org www.OTRRLibrary.org

Speaking of Ken Piletic, if anyone is still in touch with him former OTRR member Doug Hopkinson is trying to make contact with him. Ken apparently has since moved to California from his longtime Illinois home. Ryan www.RyanEllett.com The Old Time Radio Researchers "Saving the Past for the Future" www.OTRR.org www.OTRRLibrary.org

My call is KC0PWA. I have an extra class license but last I checked (several years ago) there were no 4-digit call signs that I liked. I sold my Yaesu probably ten years ago and have not done any hamming since, though I renewed my license in the last year or two. My bedside radio is a Grundig shortwave radio but rarely do I get on the SW bands anymore. I think the ease of internet communication around the world has definitely hampered wider interest in both of these hobbies.

Well, Guess you could say that I'm a Ham, an SWL AND a "Beaconeer" (chasing longwave Morse Code beacons). In addition I operate my own 10 Meter Ham Beacon 24/7. Been an SWL since around 1953 and didn't get my ham license until 1994 (Morse code kept me from it most of that time). In 1994 I got my "No Code license" and then almost immediately took the code test and got my "Advanced" license (now not available to new licenses). Never bothered to upgrade to the "Extra Class" license.

W4ARZ Steve here. I am an extra class Ham and an Avid shortwave
listener and sw receiver and ham radio collector. The bug bit
back in the mid 1960s and the magic is still there. Big VFO knobs
and glowing orange lights through the metal cases. On 7/19/2020 9:38 PM, Charles Walker
