I talk to Boyd, W4ZWE regularly. He is in a little town called
Channing, TX which in adjacent to Boy's Town of movie fame. He has
some AM gear but is not as active as years past on AM. His signal
into the South of Oklahoma is very good. In fact I helped him
locate the mounting hardware for an 833. This was not too long ago
and he said he was preparing the transmitter for a return to the
air.

It was a sad day when the Kingfish died in July 1971. I was
SWL'ing in those days.7295 was the holdout against the ssb crowd.
Sally was in Waynesville, N.C. Sid was in East Point, GA and I
can't remember the town in SC where Jim W4DXW was in.I heard Sid
mobile several times running a Gonset G-76. Boyd W4ZWE's AM
station got wiped out by a tornado in the spring of 1974.It was in
a building behind his house in Toney, AL. Boyd is now retired to a
ranch in the panhandle of TX.Don K4KYV was on some in the
mornings.After I got my General in 1973, I worked a guy in High
Point, N.C. who was running an ARC-5 to a vertical at a retirement
home. I will have to see if I can find his call in my logs.I was
using a Globe Scout 65A back then.
