[HAROLD SMITH JR]

Hello Frank,

My first QSO with Don Miller was in 1959. 
I was in the Army in Ansbach, Germany. My call was DL4SH and I worked Don 
on 15 CW. He was WN9WNV on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago. I think I have his 
QSL, if I look a bit. If I find it, I will post it.
I had a private DL call and it cost me $0.75 a month. I made $100.00 a month in the Army.

Hi Carl, 

My first QSO with Don Miller was in 1963 when he was in the army as HL9KH . 
There is an interesting web site about W9WNV here:

What ever became of Herb Kline, K1IMP?
