[TenTec] Orion versus 70 years ago

[Troy, W6HV]

Mike,
Mr. Edward Dugan was member # 0347 of the Old Old Timers Club (OOTC). He was born Nov 11, 1894 and his first two-way contact was made using the call 2IY. Try looking at the OOTC web site (http://www.ootc.us/<http://www.ootc.us/>) and maybe contact the Executive Secretary, Bert Wells, W5JNK, (W5JNK at SBC.GLOBAL.NET<mailto:W5JNK at SBC.GLOBAL.NET>).
73,
Troy, W6HV
President OOTC

  Speaking of OOTs, the original holder of W2IY was Ed Dugan who was licensed
  in 1912....one of the "founding fathers" who was so homored at a 50th
  anniversary banquet at the ARRL in 1962 (it was in QST in I think August
  1962).  I got the call in 1976 and have tried to learn more about Mr.
  Dugan's amateur radio career but mostly I have run into dead ends.  Anyone
  ever tried this before?
