Subject: Re: Valpo Tech - W9SAL From: Dean KH6B Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:03:04 -0400 To: Stan W4SV Hi Stan: Boy W9SAL brings back memories!! I operated the Old Collins 32V/75A at W9SAL. I was with class of 1954. I'll have to do some digging for pictures and tax my memory for details of the ancient past. After school, I signed on as an engineer at WHFB Benton Harbor. The Chief Engineer Munson Robinson W8TOM was also from VTI. More later. 72/73, Dean KH6B 1973 Hilo Hawaii W8FGB 1950 - Michgian -----Original Message----- From: Stan Vandiver W4SV To: kh6b@arrl.net Sent: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 5:29 am Subject: Valpo Tech - W9SAL Hi Dean, Still at this address? I stumbled on it doing a Google on W9SAL where you had an email "signature" that contained VTI/W9SAL. Oops, no, kh6b@juno.com failed -- trying @arrl.net this time. I'm doing research on amateur radio in northwest Indiana which includes Valpo Tech. If you were a student/graduate there, I would be glad to get any stories (and photos) that you might share with us... memories of your time there, and/or details of your life/career that followed, and how VTI helped you along your path. Please include what year you graduated also. You can see what I've got so far at the URL below. I was recently elected as President of our local QCWA Chapter 36, and the "history" that I am collecting is being presented on our website. I see on your HI QRP Club page that you are also a QCWA member.
