Dedicated to the memory of Douglas George Summers, 2DWH (1916-1988) |
The following pages contain some items from the archives, including a batch of QSL cards from around 1938, some of Dad's radio circuits, and a couple of pieces of equipment.
Historic QSL Cards from 1938:
I am fortunate to have in my possession an envelope of my Father's QSL cards from circa 1938. These are all confirmations of SWL reports by my Father at his QTH of Tobacconist Farm, Minchinhampton, Gloucester, England. It is clear that he was not transmitting at this time, but from the writing on some of the cards, he was intending to get his TX working shortly. His own QSL card (callsign 2DWH) is shown here to the right.

Signal Generator:
These are some photographs of my Dad's voltmeter. The lower switch sets one of 6 ranges and is labeled (top left to bottom right) S, R, 550V, 270V, 94V, 9V. The upper knob allows calibration of the resistance range. The resistance range uses 3 standard 1.5 volt AA size batteries, rolled into a paper tube and pressed between two screws on a small block of wood. On the paper tube the dates of battery changes are written. The last change occured in 1985.
