W1HRX
The James Millen Society operated James Millen's
original 1930's Amateur Radio Station, now located at the Antique Wireless Association
(AWA) museum annex, in celebration of the
100th Anniversary of Millen's Birth
.
Wednesday Sept. 5th - During the evening we operated the
BIG Millen 1936 AM transmitter
on 3880Kc as part of the Collins Collector Associations AM Night. Bill Gerhold, K2WH, was gracious enough to
provide a 4+ minute recording of the W1HRX celebration as heard from his station
in Hewitt, New Jersey. The recording is from Wednesday nights activities using the
BIG Millen 1936 transmitter on 75 meter AM phone. It's not often you hear such a
pileup on AM! The operator at W1HRX at the time was John Bauer, W4AWM.
