Early-1950s 1952 Tom Webb, W4YOK

Tom Webb, W4YOK

(formerly WN4YOK, 1952)

I was licensed in November of 1952 as WN4YOK.  My most exciting contact was with WL7AVP on 40 meters, using my Eldico TR-75 transmitter and Hallicrafters S-38B receiver. I was living in Henderson, KY at the time. I claimed this as the first novice contact between 4 land and Alaska.
