Couldn't you guys get better picture of W8JK, like in his fifties?

We have done that with our Tesla RC N2EE, see
www.TeslaRadio.org

That's how people would like to remember them.

Dear Neighbor:

That is Big Ear. I worked on its first instrumentation long ago - the
antenna that is, not the book. It has gone to the Great Scrap Yard where
good antennas go so as to make way for a baby-factory or the like.

It is wonderful that such a great man's call will be preserved.

Used his two classic text books, Electromagnetics and Antennas, in my college
days [ca 1956].
