California hams help

By 11:00 A.M. , over 40 cars were assembled at the rendevous point in front of the La Mision Motel. The clothing and other goods that our members had brought for the Old Folks Home was collected and de livered by truck. With a police car escort we proceeded to the Guadalupe Victoria Girl's School and Orphanage where we delivered all the donations of food and clothing.
The fiesta site, El Cipres Military Reservation, is located next to the Ensenada Airport. Special permis sion to use the grounds had been granted by Major General Rudolfo Aceves, Commanding General, Mili tary Forces, Baja California and Western Sonora. The festivities took place in a large eucalyptus grove and we counted well over 100 hams, wives and other guests.

As usual, our friends in Mexico served a sumptous spread. The menu featured charcoal broiled New York steaks, guacamole, retried beans, tortillas, margaritas, etc. Oskar, XE2DDP; Enrique, XE2RH; Jose, XE2ID, and Rudolfo, XE2EBC, were in evidence as mainstays of the action. After the food we held a raf fle with many prizes for the ladies, children and a few hams. The good amigos from Mexico welcomed their friends from the U.S.A. There was no boundry between friends-just one happy family!
The fiesta-picnic was completed by 4:30 P.M. with no further scheduled activities untill Sunday morning when a breakfast meeting was held at Vel ascos in downtown Ensenada. The President of the Ensenada Radio Club, Carlos Mathus, XE2EEB, and Jose Soares, XE2ID, carried the ball.

During the program, "Duke", W6OZD, presented to Carlos, XE2EEB, two checks to be delivered to the di rector of the Old Folks Home. One check was from the Latin American Club of Antelope Valley(Calif. ) and the other was from Larry Fulstone, WA7MXQ, of Las Vegas, Nevada. Just another example of people to people with only good will in mind.
After the breakfast, a light rain began falling but that did not dampen the spirit of the occasion. The car avan proceeded to the Ensenada Radio Club House located on an acre of ground just southeast of Ensenada. The newcomers to our group were amazed at how a small number (10 2 0) of Mexican hams have been able to complete such a nice building with a white stone wall surrounding.

Hurricane
help?
I use a model 15 Teletype unit with a TTL Mark II convertor to copy Weather Bulletins from WBR70 in Miami during Hurricane Warnings. WBR70 is switch ing to 100WPM next July and 1 will need some better equipment before then. 1 wonder if any of your readers know of a source for printers that will copy 100 WPM at a reasonable price. 1 heard somewhere that Model 28 receive only units were available at less than a S100 but I don't know who to contact.
Another alternative is the IBM elec tric typew riter used for output data on the earlier model computer systems. If we go this way I need to know what model IBM Printer is suitable and information on the translator device to convert 5 bit RTTY Code to 8 (?) bit code for the IBM output device.
Weather Bulletins are vital informa tion to amateurs along the Gulf Coast. I am a member of the Industrial Hurri cane Net which is made up primarily of Club Cations located at about 30 In dustrial ' lants along the coast from Brownsville, Texas to New Orleans, La. Several members ofthe netare connected to the ESSA weather wire circuit but this circuit went out of service when Hurri cane Celia caused wide area power fai Iture and telephone interruptions. I was able to copy WBR-70 for about another hour until my antenna blew down just before the eye of the hurricane passed over. By then it didn't matter because we knew where the hurricane was going.
The letter is rambling but you get the idea. Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You William R. Clark, WA5ALB 3261 Austin St. Corpus Christi. Texas 78404

BOSTON--A SHREVEPORT HAM RADIO OPERATOR WAS ONE OF. SEVERAL OPERATORS ON TWO CONTINENTS WHO HELPED IN AN EFFORT TO GET MEDICAL TREAT MENT LAST NIGHT FOR A VENEZUELAN WOMAN SUFFER ING FROM CANCER.

IT ALL STARTED WHEN A TELEVISION STATION ENGI

NEER IN BOSTON, JACK MORAN (W1ZLG) WHO WAS

MONITORING HIS HAM RADIOAT HOME...GOT A CALL

FROM A MAN NAMED JERRY HOFFMAN (K4GAN/YV1),

IN TIA JUANA,VENEZUELA. HOFFMAN WAS TRYING TO

GET MEDICATION FOR A MARACAIBO WOMAN WHO HAS

MULTIPLE MYOMA, A FORM OF CANCER. POOR COM

MUNICATIONS CONDITIONS MADE IT NECESSARY FOR

SEVERAL HAMS IN THE UNITED STATES TO TAKE PART

IN COMPLETING THE ORDER FOR MEDICATION. THE

HAMS WERE FRANK SAVAT, (WA5 YOI) OF SHREVEPORT,

LA. , BROTHER BERNARD FREY (WA1FKE) MILTON,

MASS., BOTH MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL

Frank

Savat,

MISSION RADIO ASSOCIATION NETWORK, AND JACK MORAN, (W1ZLG) OF STONEHAM, MASS.

' WA5YOI

A DRUGSTORE IN THE BOSTON SUBURB OF STONEHAM DONATED 50 TABLETS TO START THE MEDICATION, AND PAN AMERICAN AIRLINES IS FLYING THE MEDICA TION FROM NEW YORK TO VENEZUELA TODAY.

-- o--

Some follow-ups on the emergency traffic: a) K4GAN/YV1 reported on Oct. 6 · that the medication had arrived and all down there were extremely grate ful for the extraordinary cooper ation shown them on the IMRA Net. Amid many pats on the back, it was agreed by all, that nothing was done ^that any operator would not have done. The lady in Venezuela is not convinced though. b) WA5YOI and WA1FKE were both interviewed by their local radio stations and the story made the wire services. The IMRA got mention in a special 15 minute news feature in both Shreveport and Boston Boston.
) K4GAN/YV1 works for Creole Oil Co. and WA5YOI works for Marathon Oil Co.
de Sister Mary, WA5VBM Who is this fellow, Frank Savat? ^(Sa-vat rhymes with "a lot" ) Brown eyed, brown haired, 6 feet'tall, 155 ^.bs. , of Italian extraction, he was
born in Shreveport and lived there all his 44 years. He works for Marathon Oil Co. as an Engineering Technician for the Petroleum Engi neering Department. He and his XYL, Tillie, live at 9503 Primrose Lane with their three children-two ·^oys and one daughter. Only one Jr. operator in the family and that is Frank, Jr., WA5SMY.
Frank has always been interested in ham radio and in his own words,
^"1 guess I have started to get an
amateur license more often than Anyone in the whole world, but
never seemed to get around to taking

the examination. Finally when Frank, Jr. got his ticket before I got mine, I just couldn't stand it any longer. I went up for the examination. "
As for other interests. .. Frank's biggest outside activity is his work on the Mission Committee in his Parish Church of St. Catherine's in Shreveport. He and Tillie are both on the Mission Committee and since his parish adopted the Mission at Ocotepeque, Honduras, he has really been able to incorporate his ham radio into his mission activi ties. The mission in Honduras also has an amateur radio station and the communications facilities has really drawn the two parishes close to gether. The past summer 17 teen agers and four adults from St. Catherine's spent some time at the mission in Honduras. They painted the inside of the church, varnished the pews, clipped the grass and other tasks. It was a great experience · for all of them and Frank attended to the communications, phone patching the youngsters to their parents back home.
The station at WA5 YOI is a Galaxy V, Mark III (barefoot). Frank has a station console with a digital clock, speaker and phone-patch. The an tennas are an inverted V for 40 and 80 meters and a TA-33 atop the 50 foot Spaulding self-supporting tower. This is automated by a CDR TR-44 rotor.
Look for WA5YOI on the IMRA Net every week-day night. He runs a mean patch.

The Space Center Amateur Radio Society at Kennedy Space Center in Florida is a unique organization in the sense that it is in a very historic position.
The members of this club have com memorated the launches of Apollo 8 to Apollo 15 by remaining on the air for the 24 hour period of the launch and contacting thousands of amateurs, to whom for a very small fee they have sent a beautiful commemorative certificate. The club has also been involved with public service projects since it was first established in 1967.

The club has recently moved to new quarters as is evidenced by the pic tures accompanying this article. You can see that they have not as yet had time to build any shelfs or storage area in their new quarters, and as a result one enters a room with a floor that is coveréd with equipment.
The present officers of the organiza tion are: President, Bill Me Innis, WA4WBG; Vice-President, C.E. "Skip" Bush, W4MPZ; Trustee, Howard Neal, WA4ZCB, and Secre tary-Treasurer, L.W. "Larry" > Dearinger.

The club was originally founded by eight members, and soon grew to a peak of about 50 members during the era of the growth of the Kennedy Space Center. However, due to cut backs in the space program, many members have gone on to other lo cations and at the present time the membership is down to seven. These seven members for the most part are members of the original group. Dur ing the recent Apollo 15 launch, along with the help of one visiting ham, WB2YBA, they were able to log in 675 contacts on 40, 20, and 15 meters, despite many problems with equip ment including faulty antennas and sets that quit.
From the small beginnings of the Apollo 8 launch, the contacts steadi ly grew, and the peak was reached at the time of the Apollo 12 launch when approximately 1,300 calls were logged in. This fell to about 900 for Apollo 13, and about 500 for the Apollo 14 mission.
8

At the present time the club hopes to continue its activities for the final Apollo 16 and 17 launches, and with any kind of luck they will be able to continue on during thè Spacelab Pro gram. They are most anxious to recruit new members who work at the Kennedy Complex. Regulations of the Space Center do not permit member ship of persons who are not employed at the center, so this does cut down their opportunity to recruit members from the surrounding area.
Those of us who have been fortunate enough to receive the commemorative certificates, and to visit the facilities and work at the receiving end of the pileup, know how hard these gentle men have been working. Their efforts are most appreciated, and should be by those who are certificate hunters.

Rescue in Mexico

On Saturday, September 25, a Mex ican cowboy, 64 year old Santos Martorell, suffered a heart attack while at an isolated cabin at La Grulla, in the rugged San Pedro Martir mountains of Baja California, about 120 miles south of Ensenada. Two other cowboys rode most of the night to travel the 40 miles to the Meling Ranch to reach help.
On Sunday morning the Mexican Observatory station, XE1PAM, on San Pedro Martir mountain went on 3 855 kHz to report the situation and ask for assistance. Raul's call was picked up by Maurice Mathias, W6NPV; J.C. Ellison, K6MVF; Earl Wiederhold, K6SMT and others.
K6MVF telephoned Wes Novotney, W6YSP, who with A. Nash Williams, W6HCD, has nightly schedules with XE2BY, at the Meling Ranch, and XE1PAM. Operations were shifted to 7265 kHz with Leon Saroff, WB6YFT, holding the frequency. Mortie Smith, WA6SNE, advised the West Coast Amateur Radio Service Net (WCARS) to help keep that frequen cy clear for rescue communications.

W6 YSP contacted Lt. Robert Morse of the Search and-Rescue Group of the Americas wlJ alerted the San Diego MountainRescue team, Lois McCoy and otJer rescue team members left within the hour head ing for the bo'd61" in a four-wheel drive vehicle picking up Jose Dur azo, XE2N?R> t° operate the team's mobile sta^on, WB6OIX. W6YSP also alert'd Dr. Dale Hoyt, Presi dent of tL Flying Samaritans. Dr. Hoyt arranged for a doctor to fly to the ran't and a Cessna 2 06 took off at 1 lp'0 A.M.
At 1C."15 A.M. the operations had beea shifted to 7255 kHz (WCARS). K6RAU, Fred Silveria, in Colma, was most helpful since the skip was /oo long for direct contact with XE2BY at the Meling Ranch. Nu merous patches were made with Lt. Morse and the ranch to plan the evacuation since a total of 14 men would be necessary to carry the victim out of the rugged terrain over a distance of nine miles to the nearest road.

The monthly for amateurs that's different

About 11 A.M. a vacationing Coast Guard pilot from San Francisco, Jerry Sickefoose, landed at the Meling Ranch airstrip. XE2BY advised him of the situation and Jerry volunteered to fly over the site to determine if the man was still alive. With Phil Meling aboard Sickefoose's Cessna 180, the pilot cleared the 7200 foot ridge enroute to La Grulla and then dropped mes sages asking the people at the cabin to join hands in a line as the signal to indicate that the victim was alive. They did !
After several passes, Jerry radiod back to the ranch he was going to attempt a landing at 7, 000 feet in a meadow. Although no other aircraft is known to have ever tried to land in those meadows, Sickafoose did it successfully and evacuated the victim flying him to Ensenada where an ambulance was waiting to take him to the hospital. Sickefoose returned to La Grulla to pick up the gear he had to jettison before take off at that altitude. Shortly after wards the Cessna 206 carrying the Flying Samaritan doctor arrived and was advised on Unicom(122.8 MHz) that the victim had been safely evacuated. Also, Lois McCoy, WB6GPI, traveling south of Ensenada, was advised by WCARS on 7255 kHz that the rescue was complete. This report doesn't do full justice to Leon, WB6YFT, who really put in an effort.
The entire operation was closed down about 3:3 0 P.M. Amateur radio certainly helped once again in providing communication with this remote area of Baja California. The dedication of pilots, doctors, and radio amateurs again demon strated that human life is considered a precious commodity.

Colegas y Amigos: Octo

Southern California and Mexico Amateur Radio Mobile Group - Nint

H.R. "Duke" Ellington, W6O2O

photos by Stan Kellogg, W6KPR

(Continued from page 1)
After everyone had visited the club house facilities, we said " adios y hasta pronto" to our good friends in Mexico and headed home. We hope to return next year for a similar ex pedition. The Mexican government did not see fit to grant temporary operating permits for this event but we hope this situation will clear up in the near future.
This annual event is scheduled, pro grammed and executed not primarily as a pleasure jaunt, but rather as an effort to promote and enrich our won derful relationships between hams, families and friends of our two coun tries. The more we assist others the more we enjoy ourselves.
1O

Colegas y Amigos-consisting of U.S. and Mexican amateurs was organized in June, 1963. The idea originated with the late Howard Mathews, W6AVN; H. R,, "Duke" Ellington, w6OZD, and Alfonso Schramm, SWL. These fellows journeyed to Ensenada and contacted a mutual friend, Eliseo Garcia, XE2NR, of the Mexican Departmente de Turismo, a staunch supporter of the Ensenada Club.
The concept began to develop. Mobiling from California to Ensenada, Mexico with operating priviliges south of the border seemed an excel lent way to go. Applications for official temporary operating permits were submitted by this group to the Mex ican Government with immediate cooperation from the Departmente de Telecommunicaciones . As a result of their generosity in issuing li censes, there have been annual motor cades to Ensenada since 1963.

In addition to the motorcades, the group has held one or two Breakfast Meetings per year either in San Diego or Long Beach with attendance from both sides of the border. It is inter esting to note that the first Break fast Meeting of the group , held in Lakewood, Calif. , in July, 1963, drew only 23 interested hams, where as a year later the attendance had increased to over a hundred.
Some of the members designed the emblem with the crossed flags of the U.S.'A. and Mexico. A votte .was taken on the color of the distinctive bluejackets. Decals were forth coming with other aids to promote this endeavor. Our good friends in Mexico are using the same emblems for their club jackets.

Our group has assisted in the devel opment and progress of the Ensenada Radio Club since its beginning in 1963. XE2DDP, XE2RH, XE2ID, XE2YE and many others have worked very hard in promoting this unique effort. We also maintain a very close ·contact with the Tijuana Radio Club.

The chief goal of the dedicated mem bers of the "Colegas y Amigos" is to promote good will and maintain the friendly relationship between Mexico and the EUA (United States ).
Although not basically a charitable organization, we have become in volved in assisting a Girls Orphanage (Asilio de Huerfanos ) and an Old Folks Home (Asilo por Ancianos ) in Ensen ada. We also became acquainted with Dr. Dale Hoyt and his fine Liga Inter national. The common goal of assis tance to Mexico proved mutually attractive.

Dr. Hoyt is also President of the Flying Samaritans. This excellent group of doctors, dentists, nurses, etc. , fly into remote sections of Mexico and furnish medical/dental services to the sick and needy people. Communications for the effort is furnished by members of "Colegas y Amigos".

The travels of - and letters
Darleen, WA6FSC VR5DK et al.

(continued from the previous issue)
Oct. 16, 1971-Stockholm, Sweden I left London on Tuesday, Oct. 5th by plane direct to Stavanger. I arrived early in the afternoon but had no way of advising Lazi and Rand Egeli, LA1 ZI and LA9CE of my arrival. I did not have their phone number and knew she worked part time for an insurance office as a secretary. I took a bus to town and then went to the local post office and although there was little English spoken, everyone was most kind and helpful and between everyone they finally located Lazi at her office.
I then called and she made arrange ments for one of her bosses to pick me and my luggage up and come to her office. Another one of her bosses took us to the ferry to go to her home.
Lazi, Rand, and their only son, Frode, live on Vassoy Island, about half an hours' boat journey from Stavanger. In addition, they have their own boat and Rand normally commutes with that to work as he works different hours than Lazi. I had a marvelous time there complete with the complete Drake station and beautiful three ele ment beam up 17 meters in the air and was able to keep or re-establish contact with many of my friends throughout the world. Rand plays the piano very beautifully and their son, Frode, plays the organ very well. It rained part of the time I was there but the weather is still not bad.
While in the Stavanger area, LA0AD, Bob Snyder and his family came by to visit and we feasted on fresh crabs and shrimps and had a delightful time. The following day, Sunday, October 10th, we were invited to their home for dinner. Bob was the first LA station to work Five-band Worked All States and I think perhaps the first one outside of the United States.
While at Lazi and Rand's QTH I made contact with a station in Ethiopia who was talking to a station in Oslo and he made arrangements for LA6GF, Bill, to meet me at the train station and to transfer me from one station to an other sol could continue to my next scheduled stop at Haldena, Norway. It was indeed a pleasure to meet Bill and only sorry we did not have more time. I was so appreciative of the cup of tea we were able to share dur ing the transfer stop. He had worked in Tanzania and participated in one of the Zanzibar DXpeditions.

On Monday, October 11th, I arrived in Halden at about 8:30 PM and was greeted by LA8XN, Steinar Aabo and his charming XYL, Karin, and their two handsome sons. Steinar was the first Norwegian I had worked from Sacramento when I was a novice and also my first Norwegian contact from VR5DK. Our Tonga QSO, which lasted about 15 minutes,was our first sideband QSO. He was so excited about it that he shared it with his class -- he is a secondary teacher in the Halden school. I sent his QSL card direct from Tonga with Tonga stamps and he shared that also with his class.

I have talked to him a number of times ·

on my trip and each time he told the

class of my location. When I arrived he asked if I would mind coming to his

class and speaking to them. Needless

to say, it was my pleasure to do so.

The local newspaper photographers

came and interviewed me. Steinar

will be sending you an article regard

ing the handicapped hams in Norway.

He is an amateur photographer and

also plays the piano and is active in teaching code and theory to prospec tive hams. The hospitality of Steinar

and his family was very much appre- .

dated.

On Wednesday, October 13th, I left Halden by train enroute to Stockholm. However, due to an early morning 80 meter contact, through the help of LA8XN, he made arrangements for one of the hams in Gothenburg, SM6- · CJK, Olle Andersson, to meet me and he invited me to rest awhile in his home and to have lunch with him and his wife.

He was even thoughtful enough to have made reservations for me on a faster train- window seat in the non-smoking car-which allowed me an extra hour in Gothenburg. Also, while there SM6BD, Carl Gulich, also from Goth enburg stopped by to say hello and I did make a few contacts on the air there with my new WA6FSC/SM6 call. It was with great regret when we left his QTH for me to get on the train to Stockholm.

I arrived in Stockholm about 8:30 PM and Bob Noren, SM0EWM, and his lovely daughter, Eva, were there to meet me. I had worked Bob as a novice from Sacramento and we have exchanged correspondence from time to time. When I was in New Zealand one morning I got on the air early and heard him calling CQ and this was the first time we had a sideband contact. His very lovely XYL, Gun, is a novice with the call sign of SM0FI. He made all the arrangements for my Swedish license. Thursday night SM5BBC, Ulf Swalen, and SM0CER, Jan-Eric Rehn came by for an eyeball QSO.

Friday, Bob and Gun and Eva and I went sight-seeing and also picked up my airline tickets and train tickets for my trip to Helsinki and Kouvola. I will leave here late Monday morning for Helsinki by plane.

Unfortunately I have not been able to get my visa for Russia in sufficient time so it looks unlikely I will get there but will explore the possibilities from Helsinki. In England they told me it could be done in Stockholm in four working days but in Stockholm I was told it would take between ten days and two weeks which is time I can not afford.
This picture shows three German hams. They are: Ernst Walter, DL1SC; Dra-Ing. Friedrich von Rautenfeld, DL1FZ, of the Institut fur Rundfunketechnik, and Rolf Netzband, DL1UX.

Brother Ed at HV3SJ, Vatican City

Ed, OE1MEW; Darleen; Nico, OE1NY; Nico was the first Austrian to achieve 5 Band DXCC.

These three Hamburg hams have their ham shack in converted water closet and are a delight to meet. Their ham shack is located in the middle of a park -Landhaus im Stadtpark. Three individual stations in one shack. We had a lovely lunch in a historical restaurant which is also located in this park. We had our eyeball on Sept. 3 0th, the day I left for London. Also included in this very interesting
visit were DL3TB and DL3TBC.

I plan to operate as the first YL in Leichenstein as HB0X-- (hopefully, as HB0XYL) some time the middle of November. Will meet with the Stuttgart Radio Club the night of November 12th.

Will be visiting SM5EAC, Ake, who recently returned from Jordan when I return to Sweden in axweek or so.

Plan to be in Heide the last weekend of the month with Fred and Barbara Laugner, DL3TB and DL3TBC, and collect my mail. In the third week of November I will be operating 4U1ITU in Geneva.

CW in the WC

Still may operate in Monaco late in November but not sure yet. If all goes well, will try to steal a week with a cheap charter from Copenhagen the first week of December for the Canary Islands with EA8GZ, Christ iana. Then will meet 7Z3AB, Henri and his XYL, Petra, in Holland. Will then catch a plane from Amster dam to Montreal and then to Sarnia, Ontario to meet with VE3IG and I believe W8CNL, Ray, and W8LBM, Dewey, will also come up. Then
I'll go to Winnipeg for a day with VE4ST and VE4TT, Ted and Bubbles.

Then on to Calgary for about five days and will be with my QSL manager VE6AKV and his family. Then to Portland, Oregon with W7NJS, my friend Beth Taylor, and then to Cal ifornia just before Christmas.
Have been offered rigs, QTHs, etc. for South America in February but will have to wait and see what de velops .

CHALK UP "ONE MORE" FOR IMRA
The 0100 GMT IMRA Net began inauspiciously enough Monday, Oct. 5th (Tuesday GMT), but it turned out to be one of the longest and most productive sessions. Due to the lack of a regular Net Control for the night, the net did not get started until 15 minutes past the regular starting time. WA5YOI, Frank Savat, of Shreveport, La., took charge of the net at the request of the Net Chairman, and this is his story:
' During the net session we had medical traffic for the Venezuelan town of Tiajuana (near Maracaibo). Even though we exerted consider able effort on the net (sending some of our net members to monitor the Pan American Net and others to scout the foreign section of the band), we were not able to make contact with the station for which we were s earching--K4GAN/YV1. The net closed down officially at 0200 GMT with this piece of traffic unresolved. A number of the net members kept working at it and finally we were rewarded with succes s.
At 0308 GMT, I made contact with K4GAN/YV1, Jerry Hoffman, in Tiajuana, Venezuela. The Boston . station, W1ZLG, Jack Moran, who listed the traffic had left the net to scout the band?, but had left his phone number with Brother Bernard, WA1FKE, (also in Boston) just in case he or we got the desired con tact in Venezuela. Now, Brother Bernard had also left the frequency to scout around, sol was alone with the contact, but without the details of the traffic. I had written the phone number down, too, for relay purpos es... and.when I made con tact with K4GAN/YV1, I dialed the number on the land-line to tell WlZLG the frequency we were using and used the phone-patch to hold all stations together until he found us on the air.

One of the most potent "Voices of IMRA" can be heard operating out of Manasquan, New Jersey. If you drive down Iroquois Road in Manasquan (with names like that you might expect to see a wigwam. . .but don't you be lieve it), look for number 16. You shouldn't have any trouble finding the house. Just look for a 42 foot high tower with a couple of home-brew yagis. If these yagis are tangled in the branches of a big tree, then you know that by following the coax, you will find Warren Mulhall, WA2BPV, operating his Collins S-line at the other end. Chances arq he will be on 14.280 mHz where he operates most of the time. Net Controlling or assisting on the International Mission Radio Association Net.
Bronx-born, Warren and his XYL, Evelyn, moved to Manasquan in 1951, where he works at his trade of Ma chinist for the Signal Corps at Fort Monmouth. Warren is 6 feet tall (most of his friends think he is 10 feet tall), has hazel eyes and de scribes his hair as being "a sort of mousey brown with a lot of grey sprin kled through it. " He has three chil dren; two sons, ages 24 and 11, and one duaghter who just presented him with his first grandson. No junior operators in the family, yet. . .
The station at WA2 BPV is the Collins S-line with a homebrew amplifier (one 4-1000-A not in grounded grid), and the Heath SB-63 0 Station Console. The antenna system is mounted atop a 42 foot tower which Warren says he bought from a "little old widow lady who only used it on Sundays." The tower is 4 0 inches at the base and supports the 48 year old Nims rotor which is still going strong even when the trees take hold of the beams. Warren is homebrewing a 4-section, 80 foot, crank-up tower. This to gether with the addition of a prop pitch rotor, should really by-pas s those pesky trees. Presently he is using a long wire on 1 0 meters, single band stacked yagis on 15 and 20 me ters, an inverted "V" on 40 meters and a dipole on 80 meters.

Warren Mulhall, W2BPV
It was through his connection with the Signal Corps that Warren first became interested in Amateur Radio. He says that all the people he worked with were Hams and that was all they talked about. So, he had to join them or become a recluse. He decided to join the Ama teur ranks and received his license on June 20, 1967.
The IMRA first came to Warren's attention several years ago when it almost became habitual for a "golden voice" from 4-land to break into his QSOs with TG9XX and TG5HC. It was always the same kind, gracious voice of Pat, WA4VWJ, requesting that they move their QSO down a couple of kHz so that the Missionary Net could oper ate on 14. 280 MHz.
As Warren so aptly put it, "Who could resist such a nice guy." Everyone who has ever dealt with Pat Healy, WA4VWJ, will understand what Warren means. Well, after this had hap pened a few times, Warren's curios ity took over. He moved down to listen to the IMRA in operation. He liked what he heard, saw that they needed help, offered his services, which were gratefully accepted, and has been with IMRA ever since. Look for Warren on 14. 280 MHz where he is Net Control every Monday and Friday evening at 0100 GMT. (Tuesday and Saturday in GMT. )

LATIN VISITORS to the shack of Virge Neilly, W3LNW, center, are Benny Sterental, OA4SO, left, and his father, Natan Sterental, OA4OS. Papa Sterental -was in State College, Pa., to attend Benny's graduation from Penn State.

Peru to Pennsylvania

Mary Neilly, XYL. of W3LNW

When a young man named Benny Sterental was graduated from The Pennsylvania State University in Sep tember, the event had both amateur radio and international connotations for Benny is OA4SO, of Lima, Peru.
And, furthermore, among the proud friends and relatives who made up Benny's "rooting section" in the audi ence were hams from both the U.S. and Peru. These included his father, Natan Sterental, OA4OS; his mother, Becky Sterental, OA4AJ;his sister, Ester, OA4CS, all of course, from Lima, Peru; and two U.S. hams, George Jacobs, W3ASK, of Silver Spring, Md., and Virge Neilly, W3LNW, of State College, Pa.
Natan Sterental, chairman of the board of American Fabrics, S.A., Lima, is a past president of the Pe ruvian National Radio Club. Benny, who received his B.S. in industrial engineering and will stay on at Penn State for graduate work, is currently vice president of the Penn State Ama teur Radio Club.
G i ve Wor/dra cY/o as a gift to an overseas friend

George Jacobs, chief engineer with the frequency division of the Voice of America, writes a column entitled "Propagation," for CQ magazine. Virge Neilly, associate professor of enginnering at Penn State , is advisor to the Penn State Amateur Radio Club. George and his wife are long-time friendt of the Sterental family and have been "standing in" as Benny's North American parents.
Virge and his XYL first met the Sterentals in person during a trip to Peru in 1967. At that time, Benny was just graduating from high school and had offers of admission from sev eral U.S. universities including PSU. When the family heard from Virge about the radio activities at Penn State and knew that in Virge they had a good ham friend there, that clinched it-----Benny enrolled at Penn State.

Amateur radio has played an impor tant role in his college career for, although 4, 000 miles from home, he has undoubtedly kept in closer contact with his family than do most Penn State students whose homes are in Pennsylvania. First via Virge's equipment and then with his own set up (a gift from his father), Benny has talked home to Lima at least an hour every week. Naturally, when graduation time arrived, the whole family (which in addition to the four hams also in cludes 12-year-old Liliana) journeyed to central Pennsylvania to be present when Benny received his diploma.

While public service has always been an integral part of amateur radio, rarely has it received the spotlight. For this reason alone, it was refreshing to see Worldradio. Moreover, the unique international coverage that is pro vided is a stimulus to greater participation around the world in humanitarian activities. The Liga Colombianade Radio Aficionados has amongst its foremost goals such activities and congratulates you on your excellent efforts. ... Larry Lazar, WA2AAD/HK3, Chairman, International Affairs Committee.
I think international friendship is the most noble goal of our hobby. I have a good friend who exemplified the hu manitarian aspects of the hobby by setting up a net of emergency communications stations in earthquake dis rupted Peru. His call is WA2AAD. . . Arthur Eckman, WA2ECI

I am especially happy to find your emphasis on the human side of amateur radio. Many a ham has a desire to help his brother through radio, but is far less effective alone. Your organization acts like a good antenna coupler to keep us from dissipating too much heat, and getting the power to radiate at the antenna instead of staying in the shack. I'm sure your interest in handicapped hams gives them great hope - and is medicine that gold can't buy. ...Rev. Daniel Stretch, CP1BN
The Handi-Ham System of Minnesota, of which I am a member, wants to say a special thanks to your group for the check they received from you. We all think you are wonderful that you are helping organizations like the Handi-Ham System. We know that as a brand-new organ ization things are rather tough going. This makes us appreciate even more your check. Since I am in a wheel chair and am one of those who have been helped by the System, I know what your gift will be doing. Before I became involved with the Handi-Ham System I kept busy. The problem was it didn't amount to anything and sometimes I wished I could have slid what I was doing under a rug when we would have guests ! With all the help I received from the Handi-Ham System I became an amateur radio operator. Now I can do things to help others rather than always being on the receiving end and I am most happy to show anyone who visits every last detail of what I am doing. Ward Jensen, W0TLE, the President of the Handi-Ham System, sure gives your paper lots of good words. I have heard many nice things about " World radio", and so far, nothing bad. I just hope you have so many subscriptions that you have trouble keeping up with the demand ! ! !. . . Leroy Youngs, WA0YVT

One Hundred Nations Award

The Worldradio One Hundred Nations Award will be given to those radio amateurs who com municate via short-wave radio with the citizens of 100 different nations.
The contact must be with a recog nized self-governed country and with a national of that country.
All 100 contacts need not be made from the same location. For example an amateur who had contacted 75 different nations from his home in Minnesota might con tact 25 others while he was vaca tioning in Germany, and qualify for the award.
Application: Contacts must take place after 0000 GMT on 1 August 1971. The application must show date and time (GMT) of contact, band, mode, station contacted, first and last name of operator contacted and city and country of contact. We endorse the honor system.

Certificates will be mailed flat. A charge of two dollars will be made for processing and postage. Any excess over actual printing and postage costs will be donated to the Worldradio Foundation.
It is expected that the One Hundred Nations Award will be one of the most attractive, meaningful arid difficult awards in Amateur Radio. A trophy will be awarded to the first recipient. Keep us advised of your running score for publica tion.
In the next issue of Worldradio will be a story about one of the most active and public service minded amateur radio clubs and the story of a life saving effort by hams in the U.S. and Brazil.
Send us the name and address or the call of an amateur you think would be interested in Worldradio and they will receive a free sample copy.
