Re: [IRCA] Importance of IF skirts + B FOXWORTH

["John H. Bryant" <bjohnorcas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

Thank you very much for that superb note on the ITT Trans-Atlantic 
operation....  I'll join you in mourning the passing of about 95% of 
the SP-600s... gosh what a radio!

Bob Foxworth, I've seen your name around the hobbies pretty much 
since I got back in (1980) but this is the first time that we have 
had e-contact.... I've been wanting to ask you a question.... As a 
not-too-innocent 17 year-old, I went to the 1957 or '58 NRC 
Convention in Findlay, Ohio (by train all the way from 
Oklahoma).  There, I met two kindred spirits, freshmen or sophomores 
in college, DXers from out on Long Island... Manhassett, as I 
remember.  Anyway, we got along well (most everyone else was really 
old, say in their 40s or even 50s) and we committed quite a few 
misdemeanors together.  Anyway, they kept talking admiringly about 
this really outstanding DXer from up the Hudson a little ways (as I 
remember) and his name (as I remember) was Bob Foxworth.  Soon after 
that convention, I got too involved with college, then marriage and 
career and dropped out for 20 years.... THE QUESTIONS:  Was that you 
they were talking about???  If so, what were their names and what 
ever happened to them???? Prison, possibly???

Now I really better get back to work or that marriage I mentioned 
might not survive!

John B.
