I remember listening to Harry (W3FDY) from my childhood home hear
Harrisburg, PA, on a little Heath Kit receiver that my Dad built for me when
I was about 10 years old.
In fact, I think it's fair to say that listening to Harry was one of the
things that got me interested in ham radio, right from the start.
I remember telling people that "Someday, I wanted to sound just like him
when I grew up and got my ham license.".

Steve,
I remember hearing Roger on 75 with guys like Bill, W3DUQ and Harry, W3FDY.
He'd come on with that desk KW at 300 watts and often someone would ask him
to power it up so he'd say "stand by," cut the carrier and then come back on
with the full gallon. Springfield was a Philly suburb so wasn't far from me
and when he'd hit that plate switch, as you say, all the noise disappeared.
I don't know Morris but suspect Al was W3KRQ who lived here in Northcentral
PA. al is gone now as many of those guys are but his son is a ham and has
taken his dad's call. Lou WA3MIX Lou Kolb Voice-over Artist:
