[Towertalk] 1937 Kauai Beam and Tower

[jimr.reid@verizon.net (Jim Reid)]

Aloha,

Norm Thompson,  AH6E,  now SK,  built what is believed
to be the first (1937) beam antenna set up out here.  Smokey
Thompson,  AH6PQ has set up the start of a memorial
site for Norm;  the site contains photos of this beam at
the Kauai High School (where Nose,  KH6IJ also taught).

Have a look at:

Some neat photos of the rigs of the era out here also
are shown.

73,  Jim  KH7M
