I regret that I never got to work W6AM even though I've been on the air since
the late 1960s. I heard Don several times in pile-ups over the years but never
had the pleasure of a QSO. But even way back then, I knew he was an old timer
of real distinction and his signal was always strong. If only I knew then what
I know now about this great pioneer of radio, I would have tried harder for a
W6AM QSO and QSL.

me interested in the ARRL Phone SS (AM phone not
SSB) was the operation by W6FRW at W6AM. It appears he operated in 1954 and
55 along with 1956. He ran away with the phone SS. I also remember working
W6AM mobile in Field day a couple of times.
The RME ads with his station were famous!
