That was Fred Huntley, W6RNC. He at one time sought to have American hams sign off with the national anthem. Joe W4AABI remember back in the 60's, there was an old guy in California that raged every day about side banders what a bunch of commies they were. He was a big pain in the patoot.
Wasn't he the one with the Kelvinator Kilowatt, a transmitter built into an old refrigerator?
I remember the national anthem proposal, but didn't realise Fred was the one who petitioned for it.
If that had passed, wouldn't it be cool to play the Jemi Hendrix version (IMO the best instrumental rendition of the national anthem ever played by anyone) at the end of every QSO?
