Email

In early 2006 I received a nice email from Ralph Wallio W0RPK about Erv W9SOQ. He says:

"I worked with Erv Sperath, W9SOQ, at Illinois Bell Telephone Company in Chicago, 1965-1972. In the early years Erv was my mentor both as a technician and later as an engineer. I think of Erv often now that I am close to the same age of retirement as he was back when I was wet behind the ears.

We spent many enjoyable hours discussing Amateur Radio. I vaguely recall what is probably the 300W transmitter Erv mentions in his QSL card in an equipment rack in Erv's basement Ham shack. It was home built and a good example of Erv's excellent technical skills."

Thanks for the memories Ralph.
