[IRCA] Amateur Station 8ZU and Broadcast Station WRK

[kj8o@xxxxxxxxxx]

May 3 -11 special event station W8H will commemorate Hamilton Ohios first 
amateur and broadcast station (circa 1915). This event will use the original 
transmitter building and a still standing WRK tower.

One of Doron Brothers Electric recievers, couplers, and other parts made in 
Hamilton will be on display. The homeowner will provide tours of the 
beutiful home (estate) of the Doron family.

Shuler and Joseph Doron were brothers who, facinated by "wireless", 
experimented, served in the US signal Corps, and built one of the first 
broadcast stations in the US. By way of a Marconi patent these two early 
radio pioneers operated a facility which built spark keys, couplers, relays, 
and other related equipment as well as radio sets.

Please mark your calendar in order to contact this special event on the air.
A certificate will be issued to all who are logged and QSL with a SASE to 
W8H. Your contact, participation and support in this project is much 
appreciated!
