I knew Bruce Kelley - W2ICE very well. I was a member of the Antique Wireless Association, had a congenial relationship with Bruce since I was 17. He started the spark for me to become an Amateur Radio Operator. back in 1978. While Bruce wasn' t my Elmer, he fascinated me with the Spark gap transmitter the Wireless Association had. Since I had the merit badge for Morse Code, Bruce allowed me to operate the spark gap transmitter under his call sign. After a contact, Bruce said that I had a fine hand for CW - for a beginner. Nevertheless, by the next Fall, 12/79, I had my novice license through my found (or directed by Bruce) New friend Burt John's WA2IYA, and by next Spring, I took my Technician Class and General Class tests in one day at the Rochester, NY Hamfest and had bought my first H-F rig, a set of Drake Twins, and the SA-2060 Heathkit Tuner Kit. I have to give Jim Taylor (head of the DVD Buffalo Field Office) credit for allowing me to take the Tech and General license tests on the same day. I believe the day was 2 May 1980, now a very long time ago. All the time between learning from WA2IYA, and from W2ICE, helping restore pieces for the AWA Museum, and learning from Jim and Burt, I had the best Elmers a young man could ever have. They are all SK 's now, but I remember their families very well, and wish that I could get back in contact with them. I am 65 now, and all I have are memories of those exciting days. The Museum has a new building on State Route 5 and 20, rather than that old drafty barn in East Bloomfield I helped recondition. I know that there are old photos of me and Bruce together at the newer museum taken shortly before I went to work in Washington at the "puzzle palace" as an analyst, but I do not know if they display any of them. All I know is that I had the greatest time being with them all, and doing the stuff for the AWA Museum and for the 1941 Airshow in Geneseo, NY. Fun times that are lost in the past.
Very nice
Meanwhile, AM stațions in Europe are shut down one by one.
This great invențion is sunsetting, and not because the TV, but by a new version of the phone.
Reading voice better at 1.25X ...
good story, but needs 21st century update. as is, it makes a great video for those having trouble sleeping. lol
Sorry to tell you all, but after a long legal battle, the Supreme Court awarded Nicola Tesla all the stolen patents that Armstrong, Westinghouse, Edison, and Marconi claimed as theirs. Most of you people associate the name "Tesla" with a car with limited range and constant charging needs, but Nicola Tesla invented Radio in 1901. Nicola Tesla was the first, not Marconi and others. Watch the video on Nicola Tesla here on UA-cam for the proof.
What Tesla didn’t invent a car company 60 years after he was dead?
“All the stolen patents”? No, the USSC merely upheld the validity of Tesla’s patent for the transmission of electrical energy, giving him priority over Marconi for the invention of radio. Armstrong made several original inventions to improve radio. Armstrong and Westinghouse had nothing to do with the Marconi-Tesla dispute.
Tesla has become a cult figure, as illustrated by comments of this sort. He was important and deserves his place in the history of the development of electricity, but he didn’t invent everything. He went the wrong direction on radio technology. He saw radio as a way to deliver electric power rather than information.
Tesla also did not believe in electromagnetic radiation, but ground conduction and resonance. When presented with aircraft radio, he was stymied. Granted, Herz, Maxwell, and energy transmission in vacuo is a bit hard to believe, yet the sun warms the earth.
What about the ceramic toilet invention?
How old is this?
