stories about the golden age of amateur radio.
Seeking WWII and Korean War Radio Operators
The K9YA Telegraph seeks to record the wartime experiences of WWII and
Korean War radio operators, both military and civilian.
The Robert F. Heytow Memorial Radio Club recognizes and honors the gallantry of
those men and women who courageously served their country at war and who
contributed mightily to the Allied victory.
Collected stories will be archived and available at the K9YA Web site and
selected stories will be printed in the K9YA Telegraph e-Zine.
If you are a WWII or Korean War radio operator or the relative of a veteran
operator and you wish to share your wartime experience with the worldwide
amateur radio community, please forward your story with appropriate photographs
to us as directed below.
The K9YA Telegraph especially seeks the stories of radio operators who
were hams before the war and those who became hams following their wartime
service.
