GREAT idea! And I'll thank him for the Globe Scout I used as a novice in '68 , , ,'<br><br>Mark<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 8:47 AM, Ken Simpson, W8EK <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:W8EK@flham.net">W8EK@flham.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I know this is not exactly Boatanchor related, but many of<br>
us certainly have used (and maybe still use) some of the<br>
rigs that Leo designed and marketed.<br>
<br>
On Feb 24th QCWA Chapter 154 in West Palm Springs is celebrating<br>
Leo Myerson, W0GFQ's 100th birthday. For those that don't<br>
remember, Leo owned and operated World Radio Laboratories in<br>
Council Bluffs, IA for many years.<br>
<br>
So here's the plan: take a QSL card, write 'Happy 100th Birthday<br>
Leo' on it and send it to:<br>
<br>
Leo Meyerson, W0GFQ<br>
19 Park Lane<br>
Rancho Mirage, CA 92270<br>
<br>
Gene Pentecost, President of QCWA Chapter 154 will make sure<br>
they get to the party so everyone that attends can enjoy them.<br>
<br>
Tell every ham you know to do the same thing, QCWA member or<br>
not. Spread the word, at every radio club meeting you attend,<br>
at every net you check into.<br>
<br>
We want Leo to get hundreds, maybe even thousands of cards.<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
<br>
73,<br>
